More quotes by Michael Douglas
Being single is pretty good. It's a nice sense of irresponsibility.
Michael Douglas
I'm questioning it. We're trying to get a lot of money for health and education and I'm wondering... You look at these gangs, and I look back at Prohibition. When we didn't allow alcohol, what did we have? We had gangs. We had big gangs. It's something that needs to be discussed a little more. It's an economic issue and a violence issue.
Michael Douglas
When you're making pictures out of heartfelt passion, it hurts when someone calls them a calculated business move.
Michael Douglas
It's a phenomenon that I see with young actors - a lot of American speaking parts going to British actors.
Michael Douglas
Money itself isn’t lost or made. It’s simply transferred from one perception to another.
Michael Douglas
Someone reminded me I once said, 'Greed is good.' Now it seems it's legal.
Michael Douglas
That's why I'm such a big sports fan, with sports you can never guess what's gonna happen. Most movies you get halfway through and you can kind of guess the ending.
Michael Douglas
When I look at myself as a younger actor, I see what a tight ass I was. I had a pretty big shadow because of my father and the comparisons. I was self-conscious about that. Now I realize there was nothing to be worried about.
Michael Douglas
The hardest thing about sex scenes is that everybody is a judge. I don't know the last time you murdered somebody or blew anyone's brains out, but everyone has had sex and probably this morning, which means everyone has an opinion on how it should be done.
Michael Douglas
Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.
Michael Douglas
A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place.
Michael Douglas
Everybody knows about Las Vegas. It's a state of mind. Some people want to come with their kids and have a great weekend. Some people want to shop. Some people want to find hookers. Some people want to eat. Some people just want to gamble. It's a potpourri of decadence.
Michael Douglas
A lot of actors get concerned about their own image, even going so far as to rewrite a movie to best serve that image. All I want to do is be in good movies.
Michael Douglas
I am a Jew. Those are four words of pride. My Jewishness is as deep as my genes.
Michael Douglas
The one thing that men and women have in common - they both like the company of men.
Michael Douglas
Basketball is great no one in Europe seems to believe just how close the spectators can sit to the players.
Michael Douglas
If we confront anti-Semitism ... if we combat it individually and as a society, and use whatever platform we have to denounce it, we can stop the spread of this madness.
Michael Douglas
I never thought about the gayness. Liberace just looked like he was having so much fun. And that whole idea of talking directly to the audience, you just went along with him. He made you happy. And he's finally getting acknowledged for all the Elton John, Lady Gaga, Madonna theatrics now that people are looking at his old costumes.
Michael Douglas
I'm not a big filmophile. I don't watch movies a lot for a hobby. I spend all my time watching sporting events. Because, opposed to movies, you can never tell how they're going to end.
Michael Douglas
Players never die - they just try their luck at another table.
