More quotes by Jack Nicholson
Women -- a mistake, or did He do it to us on purpose?
Jack Nicholson
I'm content with the fact that I made a decent effort. That's what I've always worried about: that I wouldn't try hard enough.
Jack Nicholson
It always bothered me when people came off stage and were told how great they were. They weren't, really, in my opinion. It was then I started thinking that, contrary to conventional wisdom, film was the artful medium for the actor, not the stage.
Jack Nicholson
I'm Irish. I think about death all the time.
Jack Nicholson
You can call me Joker. And as you can see, I'm a lot happier.
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've always understood money it's not a big mystical thing to me.
Jack Nicholson
I think the Greeks invented sports as an antidote to philosophy. In sports there are absolute rules. It's not, What about this? What about that? Either you're safe or you're out. It's ten yards or it's not. It's in the hoop or out of the hoop. It's certain.
Jack Nicholson
I love the company of people. I always have and always will, it comes with my family. But earlier in life I might have got a little nervous if I was alone for a day or two in a row. I might think, Where are they? Now, I just go on doing naturally what I do.
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
I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.
Jack Nicholson
I'm definitely still wild at heart.
Jack Nicholson
I just like art. I get pure pleasure from it. I have a lot of wonderful paintings, and every time I look at them I see something different.
Jack Nicholson
My point of view, while extremely cogent, is unpopular. . . . That the repressive nature of the legalities vis-a-vis drugs are destroying the legal system and corrupting the police system.
Jack Nicholson
I suppose I can do more for a script as an actor than as a writer - in the film sense.
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
Before I moved into the mainstream of American movies, I wrote a script as an experiment. I wanted to get very far away from the clichés about the three-act play - structure, development.
Jack Nicholson
It's a slight stretch of the imagination but most people are alike in most ways so I've never had any trouble identifying with the character that I'm playing.
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
Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You!?
