Time keeps no measure when true friends are parted, No record day by day the sands move not for those who, loyal-hearted, friendship's firm laws obey.

If you're going to write, write one poem all your life, let nobody read it, and then burn it. This is very young thinking, I confess, but it is the seminal part of my life.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I just like art. I get pure pleasure from it. I have a lot of wonderful paintings, and every time I look at them I see something different.

I kind of believed what Nietzsche said, that nothing not written in your blood is worth reading it's just more pollution of the airwaves.

Financially, I've lost money and made money, but I know my way around financially.
Jack Nicholson

I know I can act. There aren't too many other jobs I know how to do
Jack Nicholson
Image
Just let the wardrobe do the acting.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I love women who have a strong sense of themselves because I know I have a pretty good idea of what I want out of life and I like to be around other people who are also pretty secure. It just makes things easier.

Most of the early part of an actor's career, you do the jobs you get.
Jack Nicholson
Image
When it's over for a woman, it's over. You're not getting an appeal.

The blues and jazz will live forever... So will the Delta and the Big Easy.
