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.

Comedy is much harder, it's a lot more exacting. You can't just be real and you can't just use the same kind of techniques you use to fill up a regular scene.

Image
Almost everybody's happy to be a fool for love.

I don't think many people have a very good understanding of leisure and the importance it plays in our lives.
Jack Nicholson

When I come up against a director who has a concept that I don't agree with, or maybe I just haven't thought of it or whatever, I'd be more prone to go with them than my own because I want to be out of control as an actor, I want them to have the control, otherwise it's going to become predictably my work, and that's not fun.

Image
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
Image
I want my kids to have a deep, inner feeling that it's alright to be happy, that you don't have to be constantly manufacturing problems that you don't really have.
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 never had a policy about marriage. I got married very young in life and I always think in all relationships, I've always thought that it's counterproductive to have a theory on that.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Played tennis for years. But you can't improve at tennis after you're 50. You get to be in your 40s, and suddenly you're a doubles player.

Image
Once I got started acting I loved it.

The less people know about me, the easier my job is.

Just because you're perfectionist doesn't mean you're perfect.

Image
I look for a director with a script he likes a lot, but I'm probably after the directors more than anything.
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.
Jack Nicholson
Image
My point of view, while extremely cogent, is unpopular. . . . That the repressive nature of the legalities vis-a-vis drugs are destroying the legal system and corrupting the police system.
