More quotes by 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
Children give your life a resonance that it can't have without them.
Jack Nicholson
I goddamn near lost my nose. And I like it. I like breathing through it.
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
Acting is everybody's favorite second job.
Jack Nicholson

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
If you're going to write, write one poem all your life, let nobody read it, and then burn it. This is very young thinking, I confess, but it is the seminal part of my life.
Jack Nicholson
I look for a director with a script he likes a lot, but I'm probably after the directors more than anything.
Jack Nicholson
We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.
Jack Nicholson
I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.
Jack Nicholson
You can't say, I'm gonna make a hit movie. You're as dead as you could be.
Jack Nicholson
I have a lot of vanity.
Jack Nicholson
I don't even own a cell phone.
Jack Nicholson
Once you've been really bad in a movie, there's a certain kind of fearlessness you develop.
Jack Nicholson
Just because you're perfectionist doesn't mean you're perfect.
Jack Nicholson
