Michael Douglas Quotes
I don't even know why, but my entire career is contemporary films. Entire career! There's no period movies - there's one - but there's no period movies, no special effects movies.

I love the challenge of playing not a very pleasant or attractive character that seduces an audience or wins an audience over by the end.
