Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
It's a slight stretch of the imagination but most people are alike in most ways so I've never had any trouble identifying with the character that I'm playing.
Jack Nicholson
I love writing, but I stopped because I felt I was more effective approaching filmmaking from a different vantage point.
Jack Nicholson
I've always fought against being controlled and manipulated and stomped upon by circumstances.

I suppose I can do more for a script as an actor than as a writer - in the film sense.
Jack Nicholson
I'd prefer if people had no impressions of me. As a kid, I had to tell my own family, Please, just don't talk about me! Because they always got it wrong. Always. I just didn't want them to tell anyone anything about me.
Jack Nicholson
You can call me Joker. And as you can see, I'm a lot happier.
