Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I'd start writing poems about suicide.
Jack Nicholson
Image
You are more thoughtful because you don't act as quickly anymore. When I turned 70 it was the first time I felt young for my age. Fifty dropped on me like a ton of bricks - there is something about that number - but when 70 came along I felt good about it.
Jack Nicholson
Image

Beer, it's the best damn drink in the world.
Jack Nicholson

When I am cast in a movie where I feel that the woman's part is more interesting, I usually start thinking about Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. They seem to be the most clear actors when working with women.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Once I got started acting I loved it.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Believe it or not, I supported Richard Nixon on the issue of presidential privilege. How could anyone conceive of being the president of the United States and think that every single thing that you say or do can become a part of the public record? It just seems so stupid to me.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I don't have any plugs or tucks but people do what they want. I look at it as mutilation.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Children give your life a resonance that it can't have without them.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Acting is everybody's favorite second job.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Before I moved into the mainstream of American movies, I wrote a script as an experiment. I wanted to get very far away from the clichés about the three-act play - structure, development.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But remember, as my plastic surgeon always said: if you gotta go, go with a smile.
