I was undeclared. I was in my third year of school. They said you have to decide upon a major, and my father was an actor. My mother was an actress. So, I thought theater might be the way to go.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
All the pictures I do are contemporary. I've sort of discovered I haven't really been into science fiction or period pictures. And so, in that vein, psychological thrillers play a big part.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
I think the quality of television, given the amount of time you have, how short you have, is proportionally so much better than most movies.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
The so-called 'last golden age,' in the 1970s, most of those movies were independent films.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,' which my father had tried to get made for six, seven years, and I for four, was turned down by every studio. Every studio in the world had passed on it.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
'Five Easy Pieces,' 'Easy Rider' - those are indie pictures; those were not studio pictures. They had relationships with studio distribution, but they were indies.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
My mother is Bermudan, so I had a lot of memories when I was a kid, used to go down to Bermuda a lot.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
'King of California' was just, I thought, a really great, fresh, original kind of script. I loved the tone, the mix of tragedy, comedy, and drama, and that it was a good part.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies and cuts through to the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

Cigar smoking by it's very nature is much more reflective than interactive.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
You have to make entertaining movies. But like a good meal, it's nice to have a little food for thought after you walk out of the theater rather than just wiling away a couple of hours.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
Money itself isn’t lost or made. It’s simply transferred from one perception to another.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
Oh, I get it, it's simple. PG means the hero gets the girl, 15 means that the villain gets the girl, and 18 means everybody gets the girl.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
I'm impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
Wherever arms flow, violence follows. Bullets replace ballots as the solution to political disputes.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
Someone reminded me I once said, 'Greed is good.' Now it seems it's legal.

Quote by -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.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
Suddenly you've worked yourself up to the top of the pecking order and you say to yourself, okay, this is going to be fun.

In this whole digital age, where everything is so exposed, rather than trying to keep something private, you try to get out ahead of the curve and limit the amount of gossip.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
I dont know about Brad Pitt leaving that beautiful woman to go hold orphans for Angelina. I mean how long is that going to last?
Quote by -Michael Douglas
Human Rights for everyone is the necessary foundation upon which all of us may build a world where everybody may live in peace and serenity and plenty.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
Even when you're acting with a producing hat, when you're in every scene, you're really conscious of trying to make everybody as good as they are, because ultimately you're trying to make the best movie possible.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
Since Catherine [Zeta-Jones] and I got together, I've cut back dramatically. My priorities changed, and I still love acting and all that, but not as much as I love watching my two kids grow up.

Everything's so repressive now - it's the No generation. You can't do anything, you can't eat anything, you have to abstain.
Quote by -Michael Douglas
A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place.
