More quotes by Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
Through all permutations and youthful poetry, I came to believe that the film actor was the great literateur of his time.
Jack Nicholson
Take caution in your tone, commander. I'm a fair man, but this -- heat is making me absolutely crazy.
Jack Nicholson
The minute that you're not learning I believe you're dead.
Jack Nicholson
I love writing, but I stopped because I felt I was more effective approaching filmmaking from a different vantage point.
Jack Nicholson
I suppose I can do more for a script as an actor than as a writer - in the film sense.
Jack Nicholson
Women -- a mistake, or did He do it to us on purpose?
Jack Nicholson
I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.
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
A lot of people can't remember things because they weren't actually there to begin with - they don't take it all in.
