More quotes by Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
People who speak in metaphors should shampoo my crotch.
Jack Nicholson
We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.
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
Take caution in your tone, commander. I'm a fair man, but this -- heat is making me absolutely crazy.
Jack Nicholson
I'd give my goddamned soul for just a glass of beer.
Jack Nicholson
I'm definitely still wild at heart.
Jack Nicholson
Even in the most sophisticated person, it is the primitive eye that watches the film.

Jack Nicholson
