More quotes by 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.
Jack Nicholson
You can't say, I'm gonna make a hit movie. You're as dead as you could be.
Jack Nicholson
We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.
Jack Nicholson
Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You!?
Jack Nicholson
I love the company of people. I always have and always will, it comes with my family. But earlier in life I might have got a little nervous if I was alone for a day or two in a row. I might think, Where are they? Now, I just go on doing naturally what I do.
Jack Nicholson
There's a tacit agreement today that the white male is the only legitimate target for any and all satire, criticism, and so forth. And we pretty much just accept it.
Jack Nicholson
I'm certainly not as tough as people think. I'm not a fighter and so forth. I'd just as soon go home.
Jack Nicholson
Everybody's old enough for a beer, ain't that right, Mule?
Jack Nicholson
When I am cast in a movie where I feel that the woman's part is more interesting, I usually start thinking about Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. They seem to be the most clear actors when working with women.
Jack Nicholson
Once you've been really bad in a movie, there's a certain kind of fearlessness you develop.
Jack Nicholson
I began to think that the finest modern writer was the screen actor. This was in the spirit of the Fifties where a very antiliterary literature was emerging - Kenneth Patchen and others. 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.
Jack Nicholson
I guess this proves there are as many nuts in the Academy as anywhere else.
Jack Nicholson
I'm Irish. I think about death all the time.
Jack Nicholson
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.
Jack Nicholson
I used to be very quick, I would be able to leave the room and be back before you noticed. When you can't do that anymore you need to change the style of how you do things. But I'm very interested in life and you don't want to lose that.
Jack Nicholson
Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?
Jack Nicholson
I have never felt brutalized as an actor. Many actors do, some times, but I've never had that experience. If I'm not happy with the balance, I just won't work with that person again.
Jack Nicholson
Once you've started a film you don't become a wet noodle. You must have that conflictual interface because you don't know, and they don't know. It's through conflict that you come out with something that might be different, better than either of you thought to begin with.
Jack Nicholson
I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace.
Jack Nicholson
Just let the wardrobe do the acting.
