More quotes by Jack Nicholson

Image
You are more thoughtful because you don't act as quickly anymore. When I turned 70 it was the first time I felt young for my age. Fifty dropped on me like a ton of bricks - there is something about that number - but when 70 came along I felt good about it.

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
Image

Jack Nicholson
Image
I'm certainly not as tough as people think. I'm not a fighter and so forth. I'd just as soon go home.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I do pray. I pray to something...up there. I have a God sense. It's not religious so much as superstitious. It's part of being human, I guess.
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
Before I moved into the mainstream of American movies, I wrote a script as an experiment. I wanted to get very far away from the clichés about the three-act play - structure, development.
Jack Nicholson
Image
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.

The blues and jazz will live forever... So will the Delta and the Big Easy.

My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Sometimes a bit of distance can be very healthy. You can go away by yourself on a trip and come back very glad to be with your partner because you've cleared your head out of all the negativity.
Jack Nicholson
Image
It's not like I'm starved for company - I have a few very good lady friends - but there's only a certain amount of times a woman wants to see you and never go out for dinner.
