Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?
Jack Nicholson
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.
Jack Nicholson
I'm the last guy in the world to feel overlooked by the Academy.
Jack Nicholson

The blues and jazz will live forever... So will the Delta and the Big Easy.
Jack Nicholson
The only way to break a bad habit was to replace it with a better habit.
Jack Nicholson
I've always fought against being controlled and manipulated and stomped upon by circumstances.
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.
