Most of the early part of an actor's career, you do the jobs you get.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Just let the wardrobe do the acting.
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
Image
There are major influences on us that people are not aware of. There are big lies that nobody's willing to discuss.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Human beings are always going to find interesting ways of making a mess of their lives. It's human nature.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Children give your life a resonance that it can't have without them.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I only take Viagra when I'm with more than one woman.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I like to not care that much about criticism, but I do care about it.
Jack Nicholson
Image
As an actor, I want to give in to the collaboration with the director because I don't want my work to be all the same. The more this can be done with comfort, the more variety my work has had.
Jack Nicholson
Image
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
Image
You can't say, I'm gonna make a hit movie. You're as dead as you could be.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I'm very fortunate in the sense that outside of cohabitating relationships and so forth, I've always got on just as well with women.
