More quotes by Jack Nicholson
Because you know, down deep in my heart, when all is said and done, I still live under the illusion that basically people think of me as an up-and-coming young actor.
Jack Nicholson
I love the company of people. I always have and always will, it comes with my family. But earlier in life I might have got a little nervous if I was alone for a day or two in a row. I might think, Where are they? Now, I just go on doing naturally what I do.
Jack Nicholson
I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace.

Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
I've never been able to say I've been influenced by a list of artists I like because I like thousands and thousands and I've been influenced in some way by all of them.
Jack Nicholson
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.
Jack Nicholson
I have a lot of vanity.
Jack Nicholson
I'm not hard to get along with.
Jack Nicholson
Everyone pretty much acknowledges that he's the man, and I still feel that underrates him.
Jack Nicholson
When you use a dialect, you worry that the people you're imitating will think you're making fun of them.
Jack Nicholson
You can follow the action, which gets you good pictures. You can follow your instincts, which will probably get you in trouble. Or, you can follow the money, which nine times out of ten will get you closer to the truth.
Jack Nicholson
Now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But remember, as my plastic surgeon always said: if you gotta go, go with a smile.
Jack Nicholson
