More quotes by Jack Nicholson
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.
Jack Nicholson
I'm not a power person. I like everyone to be on an equal footing.
Jack Nicholson
Through all permutations and youthful poetry, I came to believe that the film actor was the great literateur of his time.
Jack Nicholson
I love women who have a strong sense of themselves because I know I have a pretty good idea of what I want out of life and I like to be around other people who are also pretty secure. It just makes things easier.
Jack Nicholson
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
A man needs a private life. With no ability to have a private life, one thing leads to another, and before you know it we have Bill and Monica. We need to get real about things. Humans are humans. Why should we expect more?
Jack Nicholson
I know I can act. There aren't too many other jobs I know how to do
Jack Nicholson
The only way to break a bad habit was to replace it with a better habit.
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
People who speak in metaphors should shampoo my crotch.
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
I suppose I can do more for a script as an actor than as a writer - in the film sense.
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
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.
Jack Nicholson
Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?
Jack Nicholson
My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.
Jack Nicholson
Almost everybody's happy to be a fool for love.
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
For a long time, I was afraid to be alone. I had to learn how to be alone. And there are still times when I think, Uh-oh! I gotta talk to somebody here or I'm gonna go crazy! But I like to be alone. Now I do. I really do. There's a big luxury in solitude.
Jack Nicholson
There are major influences on us that people are not aware of. There are big lies that nobody's willing to discuss.
Jack Nicholson
