More quotes by Jack Nicholson
I don't think many people have a very good understanding of leisure and the importance it plays in our lives.
Jack Nicholson
Children give your life a resonance that it can't have without them.
Jack Nicholson
For an actor, style comes last. You first have to implement the whole thing, but your style comes from the subconscious, which is the best part an actor brings to his work.
Jack Nicholson
Take caution in your tone, commander. I'm a fair man, but this -- heat is making me absolutely crazy.
Jack Nicholson
I don't want people to know what I'm actually like. It's not good for an actor.
Jack Nicholson
Now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But remember, as my plastic surgeon always said: if you gotta go, go with a smile.
Jack Nicholson
I've never been able to say I've been influenced by a list of artists I like because I like thousands and thousands and I've been influenced in some way by all of them.

Jack Nicholson
The way I reacted to 9/11 was I decided I didn't want to do any movies that are sad or critical. I decided I didn't want to make my living depressing people or making them go home sick, so I just decided I wanted to do comedy for a while and study it for a while. It doesn't mean everybody should do that, but that was my reaction.
Jack Nicholson
I eat breakfast 300 yards from 4000 Cubans, who are trained to kill me, so don't think for one second that you can come down here, flash your badge and make me nervous.
Jack Nicholson
I love writing, but I stopped because I felt I was more effective approaching filmmaking from a different vantage point.
Jack Nicholson
In my last year of school, I was voted Class Optimist and Class Pessimist. Looking back, I realize I was only half right.
Jack Nicholson
I used to think that one of the great signs of security was the ability to just walk away.
Jack Nicholson
Just let the wardrobe do the acting.
Jack Nicholson
Well, a girlfriend once told me never to fight with anybody you don't love.
