Jack Nicholson
You can't handle the truth!

Jack Nicholson
I began to think that the finest modern writer was the screen actor. This was in the spirit of the Fifties where a very antiliterary literature was emerging - Kenneth Patchen and others.

Jack Nicholson
I used to think that one of the great signs of security was the ability to just walk away.
Jack Nicholson
I suppose I can do more for a script as an actor than as a writer - in the film sense.

Jack Nicholson
Time keeps no measure when true friends are parted, No record day by day the sands move not for those who, loyal-hearted, friendship's firm laws obey.
Jack Nicholson
