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.

More quotes by Jack Nicholson
I don't want people to know what I'm actually like. It's not good for an actor.
Jack Nicholson
Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I'd start writing poems about suicide.
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
The less people know about me, the easier my job is.
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
I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability.
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
Even in the most sophisticated person, it is the primitive eye that watches the film.
Jack Nicholson
I don't think many people have a very good understanding of leisure and the importance it plays in our lives.
Jack Nicholson
My point of view, while extremely cogent, is unpopular. . . . That the repressive nature of the legalities vis-a-vis drugs are destroying the legal system and corrupting the police system.
Jack Nicholson
I love writing, but I stopped because I felt I was more effective approaching filmmaking from a different vantage point.
Jack Nicholson
You can call me Joker. And as you can see, I'm a lot happier.
Jack Nicholson
I can't hit on women in public any more. I didn't decide this it just doesn't feel right at my age.
Jack Nicholson
I'm very contra my constituency in terms of abortion because I'm positively against it. I don't have the right to any other view. My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.
Jack Nicholson
If it is difficult to know yourself as an individual, it seems to be more complex as a couple. So if you say, Oh I like a person who is like this and that, you might take away the possibility of seeing the only one that might be right for you.
Jack Nicholson
You make me want to be a better man.
Jack Nicholson
Well, a girlfriend once told me never to fight with anybody you don't love.
Jack Nicholson
When you look at life retrospectively you rarely regret anything that you did, but you might regret things that you didn't do.
Jack Nicholson
Acting is everybody's favorite second job.
Jack Nicholson
A man needs a private life. With no ability to have a private life, one thing leads to another, and before you know it we have Bill and Monica. We need to get real about things. Humans are humans. Why should we expect more?
