Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
Everybody's old enough for a beer, ain't that right, Mule?
Jack Nicholson
He [Castro] is a genius. We spoke about everything.
Jack Nicholson
Comedy is much harder, it's a lot more exacting. You can't just be real and you can't just use the same kind of techniques you use to fill up a regular scene.
Jack Nicholson
I don't have any plugs or tucks but people do what they want. I look at it as mutilation.
Jack Nicholson
