Image
I like to not care that much about criticism, but I do care about it.
Jack Nicholson
Image
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.

He [Castro] is a genius. We spoke about everything.
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.

I'm very fortunate in the sense that outside of cohabitating relationships and so forth, I've always got on just as well with women.
