More quotes by Jack Nicholson
The minute that you're not learning I believe you're dead.
Jack Nicholson
I like to not care that much about criticism, but I do care about it.
Jack Nicholson
Age is the first limitation on roles that I've ever had to encounter, and I hit that awhile ago.
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
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
You can't handle the truth!

I began to think that the finest modern writer was the screen actor. This was in the spirit of the Fifties where a very antiliterary literature was emerging - Kenneth Patchen and others. I kind of believed what Nietzsche said, that nothing not written in your blood is worth reading it's just more pollution of the airwaves.
Jack Nicholson
Once I got started acting I loved it.
Jack Nicholson
You are more thoughtful because you don't act as quickly anymore. When I turned 70 it was the first time I felt young for my age. Fifty dropped on me like a ton of bricks - there is something about that number - but when 70 came along I felt good about it.
Jack Nicholson
Well, a girlfriend once told me never to fight with anybody you don't love.
Jack Nicholson
Because you know, down deep in my heart, when all is said and done, I still live under the illusion that basically people think of me as an up-and-coming young actor.
Jack Nicholson
I'm Irish. I think about death all the time.
Jack Nicholson
Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?
Jack Nicholson
I used to think that one of the great signs of security was the ability to just walk away.
Jack Nicholson
You make me want to be a better man.
Jack Nicholson
I have given a name to my pain, and it is Batman.
Jack Nicholson
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.
Jack Nicholson
