More quotes by Jack Nicholson
I don't even own a cell phone.
Jack Nicholson
Always try in interviews to avoid the cliches about the problems of public life.
Jack Nicholson
I've always understood money it's not a big mystical thing to me.
Jack Nicholson
I'm not a power person. I like everyone to be on an equal footing.
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
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
That's what I like about the movie business: you're always in contact with wonderful and interesting people.
Jack Nicholson
I'm definitely still wild at heart.
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. I kind of believed what Nietzsche said, that nothing not written in your blood is worth reading it's just more pollution of the airwaves.
Jack Nicholson
Do you think God knew what he was doing when he created woman?
Jack Nicholson
Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I'd start writing poems about suicide.
Jack Nicholson
I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.
Jack Nicholson
I take responsibility for my successes as well as my failures. But when I look at my professional mistakes, I'm always left with the feeling that maybe I should have done more.
Jack Nicholson
I feel very lucky because I don't think there's any part I can't play. There are parts that scare me more than others.
Jack Nicholson
Human beings are always going to find interesting ways of making a mess of their lives. It's human nature.
Jack Nicholson
The less people know about me, the easier my job is.
Jack Nicholson
You can call me Joker. And as you can see, I'm a lot happier.
Jack Nicholson
Everybody said I was good, but being known and not having a big film success is almost tougher than being completely new. It just kind of turned my life around and was definitely a highlight.
Jack Nicholson
I have never felt brutalized as an actor. Many actors do, some times, but I've never had that experience. If I'm not happy with the balance, I just won't work with that person again.
Jack Nicholson
In the real world there's an after-effect of disappointment if you lose an argument. But if, to begin with, you're set up not to have this particular autonomy, then you're not disappointed.
Jack Nicholson
