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.
Jack Nicholson

I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I have a lot of vanity.
Jack Nicholson
Image
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
I feel very lucky because I don't think there's any part I can't play. There are parts that scare me more than others.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I'd give my goddamned soul for just a glass of beer.

Acting is everybody's favorite second job.
Jack Nicholson
