I always knew there wasn't going to be anybody to help me and emotionally support me, that whatever I did I'd have to do on my own.
Jack Nicholson
I wanted to be the best actor possible. I worked very hard at the craft of it.

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

Jack Nicholson
With comedy, you have to do it right. In a drama, there's a lot of different ways to succeed in a moment. But comedy comes from reality. You can't try to be funny.
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
Beer, it's the best damn drink in the world.
Jack Nicholson
The blues and jazz will live forever... So will the Delta and the Big Easy.
Jack Nicholson
There are major influences on us that people are not aware of. There are big lies that nobody's willing to discuss.
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

Jack Nicholson
