As an actor, I want to give in to the collaboration with the director because I don't want my work to be all the same. The more this can be done with comfort, the more variety my work has had.

More quotes by Jack Nicholson
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
Children give your life a resonance that it can't have without them.
Jack Nicholson
I have to keep myself in check when I go to the kids' sports events. I sit waaay in the back. I make sure I don't do too much cheering, you know what I mean? I'm still not quite adjusted to this modern school of thought: Oh, it doesn't matter who wins. I'm not all the way there yet, but I accept it from the back row.
Jack Nicholson
I wanted to be the best actor possible. I worked very hard at the craft of it.
Jack Nicholson
I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.
Jack Nicholson
I'm content with the fact that I made a decent effort. That's what I've always worried about: that I wouldn't try hard enough.
Jack Nicholson
It's a slight stretch of the imagination but most people are alike in most ways so I've never had any trouble identifying with the character that I'm playing.
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 goddamn near lost my nose. And I like it. I like breathing through it.
Jack Nicholson
Acting is everybody's favorite second job.
Jack Nicholson
I've always understood money it's not a big mystical thing to me.
Jack Nicholson
Almost everybody's happy to be a fool for love.
Jack Nicholson
I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability.
Jack Nicholson
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
I do pray. I pray to something...up there. I have a God sense. It's not religious so much as superstitious. It's part of being human, I guess.
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
A star on a movie set is like a time bomb. That bomb has got to be defused so people can approach it without fear.
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'm very contra my constituency in terms of abortion because I'm positively against it. I don't have the right to any other view. My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.
Jack Nicholson
I only take Viagra when I'm with more than one woman.
