More quotes by Jack Nicholson
I have a lot of vanity.
Jack Nicholson
Even in the most sophisticated person, it is the primitive eye that watches the film.

I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace.

With comedy, you have to do it right. In a drama, there's a lot of different ways to succeed in a moment. But comedy comes from reality. You can't try to be funny.
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
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

Jack Nicholson
Just let the wardrobe do the acting.
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
I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.
Jack Nicholson
I do pray. I pray to something...up there. I have a God sense. It's not religious so much as superstitious. It's part of being human, I guess.
Jack Nicholson
Beer, it's the best damn drink in the world.
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
Everyone pretty much acknowledges that he's the man, and I still feel that underrates him.
Jack Nicholson
My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.
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
