More quotes by Jack Nicholson
I'd give my goddamned soul for just a glass of beer.
Jack Nicholson
When I come up against a director who has a concept that I don't agree with, or maybe I just haven't thought of it or whatever, I'd be more prone to go with them than my own because I want to be out of control as an actor, I want them to have the control, otherwise it's going to become predictably my work, and that's not fun.
Jack Nicholson
I'm definitely still wild at heart.
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 can follow the action, which gets you good pictures. You can follow your instincts, which will probably get you in trouble. Or, you can follow the money, which nine times out of ten will get you closer to the truth.
Jack Nicholson
It's not like I'm starved for company - I have a few very good lady friends - but there's only a certain amount of times a woman wants to see you and never go out for dinner.
Jack Nicholson
I'm Irish. I think about death all the time.
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
Through all permutations and youthful poetry, I came to believe that the film actor was the great literateur of his time.
Jack Nicholson
I always knew there wasn't going to be anybody to help me and emotionally support me, that whatever I did I'd have to do on my own.
Jack Nicholson
In this industry, there are only two ways up the ladder. Rung by rung or claw your way to the top. It's sure been tough on my nails.
Jack Nicholson
For a long time, I was afraid to be alone. I had to learn how to be alone. And there are still times when I think, Uh-oh! I gotta talk to somebody here or I'm gonna go crazy! But I like to be alone. Now I do. I really do. There's a big luxury in solitude.
Jack Nicholson
I never had a policy about marriage. I got married very young in life and I always think in all relationships, I've always thought that it's counterproductive to have a theory on that.
Jack Nicholson
Do you think God knew what he was doing when he created woman?
Jack Nicholson
When you use a dialect, you worry that the people you're imitating will think you're making fun of them.
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
When it's over for a woman, it's over. You're not getting an appeal.
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
I have a lot of vanity.
Jack Nicholson
I love writing, but I stopped because I felt I was more effective approaching filmmaking from a different vantage point.
Jack Nicholson
