Michael Douglas Quotes:
  • "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."
  • After all my success, I feel incredibly free and can now be a better father and husband. My midlife crisis lies behind me, and being a father again is fantastic. I eat more healthy food. I exercise. I get more rest. I still want to be fit for my kids for a long time.
