Most of the early part of an actor's career, you do the jobs you get.
Jack Nicholson
Image
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
Image
Take caution in your tone, commander. I'm a fair man, but this -- heat is making me absolutely crazy.
Jack Nicholson
Image
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.

I goddamn near lost my nose. And I like it. I like breathing through it.

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

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
Image
I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Women -- a mistake, or did He do it to us on purpose?
Jack Nicholson
Image
I am a person who is trained to look other people in the eye.

Just because you're perfectionist doesn't mean you're perfect.
Jack Nicholson
Image
In my last year of school, I was voted Class Optimist and Class Pessimist. Looking back, I realize I was only half right.

Everybody's old enough for a beer, ain't that right, Mule?
Jack Nicholson
Image
I suppose I can do more for a script as an actor than as a writer - in the film sense.
Jack Nicholson
Image
There are short parts that I as an actor am very right for. Or I just like the part. Or you need someone like me for the movie. By that I don't mean at the box office, I mean in the execution of the material.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I take responsibility for my successes as well as my failures. But when I look at my professional mistakes, I'm always left with the feeling that maybe I should have done more.
