More quotes by Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
I think the Greeks invented sports as an antidote to philosophy.
Jack Nicholson
Through all permutations and youthful poetry, I came to believe that the film actor was the great literateur of his time.
Jack Nicholson
As an actor, I want to give in to the collaboration with the director because I don't want my work to be all the same. The more this can be done with comfort, the more variety my work has had.
Jack Nicholson
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

Jack Nicholson
As a means of supporting experiential element in film, once I begin to work on a particular movie I consider myself to be the tool of the director.
Jack Nicholson
Played tennis for years. But you can't improve at tennis after you're 50. You get to be in your 40s, and suddenly you're a doubles player.
Jack Nicholson
We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.
Jack Nicholson
Children give your life a resonance that it can't have without them.
Jack Nicholson
I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.
Jack Nicholson
I'm definitely still wild at heart.
Jack Nicholson
Human beings are always going to find interesting ways of making a mess of their lives. It's human nature.
Jack Nicholson
It's a slight stretch of the imagination but most people are alike in most ways so I've never had any trouble identifying with the character that I'm playing.
Jack Nicholson
I used to think that one of the great signs of security was the ability to just walk away.
Jack Nicholson
The minute that you're not learning I believe you're dead.
Jack Nicholson
Do you think God knew what he was doing when he created woman?
