Jack Nicholson
We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
The minute that you're not learning I believe you're dead.
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson

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
I wanted to be the best actor possible. I worked very hard at the craft of it.
Jack Nicholson
In the real world there's an after-effect of disappointment if you lose an argument. But if, to begin with, you're set up not to have this particular autonomy, then you're not disappointed.
Jack Nicholson
The only way to break a bad habit was to replace it with a better habit.
Jack Nicholson
