More quotes by Jack Nicholson
I'm not a power person. I like everyone to be on an equal footing.
Jack Nicholson
That's what I like about the movie business: you're always in contact with wonderful and interesting people.
Jack Nicholson
I goddamn near lost my nose. And I like it. I like breathing through it.
Jack Nicholson
Women -- a mistake, or did He do it to us on purpose?
Jack Nicholson
I always knew there wasn't going to be anybody to help me and emotionally support me, that whatever I did I'd have to do on my own.
Jack Nicholson
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
It's a slight stretch of the imagination but most people are alike in most ways so I've never had any trouble identifying with the character that I'm playing.
Jack Nicholson
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.
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
Everybody said I was good, but being known and not having a big film success is almost tougher than being completely new. It just kind of turned my life around and was definitely a highlight.
Jack Nicholson
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
Men dominate because of physicality, and thus they have mercy where women do not.
Jack Nicholson
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.
Jack Nicholson
I don't want people to know what I'm actually like. It's not good for an actor.
Jack Nicholson
I know I can act. There aren't too many other jobs I know how to do
Jack Nicholson
In the real world there's an after-effect of disappointment if you lose an argument. But if, to begin with, you're set up not to have this particular autonomy, then you're not disappointed.
Jack Nicholson
Because of the way the business is structured, I have sometimes turned down scripts that I might otherwise have accepted had I known who was directing 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
I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.
Jack Nicholson
As a means of supporting experiential element in film, once I begin to work on a particular movie I consider myself to be the tool of the director.
