More quotes by Jack Nicholson
I like to not care that much about criticism, but I do care about it.
Jack Nicholson
I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace.
Jack Nicholson
I used to be very quick, I would be able to leave the room and be back before you noticed. When you can't do that anymore you need to change the style of how you do things. But I'm very interested in life and you don't want to lose that.
Jack Nicholson
Human beings are always going to find interesting ways of making a mess of their lives. It's human nature.
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
I am a person who is trained to look other people in the eye.
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 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
I goddamn near lost my nose. And I like it. I like breathing through it.
Jack Nicholson
When you look at life retrospectively you rarely regret anything that you did, but you might regret things that you didn't do.
Jack Nicholson
That's what I like about the movie business: you're always in contact with wonderful and interesting people.
Jack Nicholson
Even in the most sophisticated person, it is the primitive eye that watches the film.
Jack Nicholson
A lot of people can't remember things because they weren't actually there to begin with - they don't take it all in.
Jack Nicholson
Staying together is a challenge. We all have to accept qualities in other people that aren't always exactly what we want or need.
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'm content with the fact that I made a decent effort. That's what I've always worried about: that I wouldn't try hard enough.
Jack Nicholson
It always bothered me when people came off stage and were told how great they were. They weren't, really, in my opinion. It was then I started thinking that, contrary to conventional wisdom, film was the artful medium for the actor, not the stage.
Jack Nicholson
I don't want people to know what I'm actually like. It's not good for an actor.
Jack Nicholson
I guess this proves there are as many nuts in the Academy as anywhere else.
Jack Nicholson
Many actors will try something different once, but if it isn't a box office success they'll never do it again. In my opinion, there's no point in going on with this job if you do the same thing over and over again.
Jack Nicholson
