More quotes by Jack Nicholson
Before I moved into the mainstream of American movies, I wrote a script as an experiment. I wanted to get very far away from the clichés about the three-act play - structure, development.
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
Through all permutations and youthful poetry, I came to believe that the film actor was the great literateur of his time.
Jack Nicholson
[on the birth of his son after having had two daughters] I finally got it right.
Jack Nicholson
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'm not hard to get along with.
Jack Nicholson
When it's over for a woman, it's over. You're not getting an appeal.
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
Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?
Jack Nicholson
Well, a girlfriend once told me never to fight with anybody you don't love.
Jack Nicholson
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
I think the Greeks invented sports as an antidote to philosophy.
Jack Nicholson
I look for a director with a script he likes a lot, but I'm probably after the directors more than anything.
Jack Nicholson
I'd prefer if people had no impressions of me. As a kid, I had to tell my own family, Please, just don't talk about me! Because they always got it wrong. Always. I just didn't want them to tell anyone anything about me.
Jack Nicholson
Take caution in your tone, commander. I'm a fair man, but this -- heat is making me absolutely crazy.
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 a lot of vanity.
Jack Nicholson
I guess this proves there are as many nuts in the Academy as anywhere else.
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.
Jack Nicholson
With my sunglasses on, I'm Jack Nicholson. Without them, I'm fat and 60.
Jack Nicholson
