Jack Nicholson
And this, incidentally, is my thumbnail sketch of American marriage: A woman sees a man she likes him. Now she jumps on this thing and rides it to some kind of standstill. Then she changes it and trains it, and to the exact degree that she's able to do this, she disrespects him.
Jack Nicholson
I love writing, but I stopped because I felt I was more effective approaching filmmaking from a different vantage point.
Jack Nicholson
Age is the first limitation on roles that I've ever had to encounter, and I hit that awhile ago.

Jack Nicholson
Well, a girlfriend once told me never to fight with anybody you don't love.
Jack Nicholson
You can follow the action, which gets you good pictures. You can follow your instincts, which will probably get you in trouble. Or, you can follow the money, which nine times out of ten will get you closer to the truth.
Jack Nicholson
[on the birth of his son after having had two daughters] I finally got it right.
Jack Nicholson
I feel very lucky because I don't think there's any part I can't play. There are parts that scare me more than others.
Jack Nicholson
Many actors will try something different once, but if it isn't a box office success they'll never do it again. In my opinion, there's no point in going on with this job if you do the same thing over and over again.
Jack Nicholson
Once you've been really bad in a movie, there's a certain kind of fearlessness you develop.
