More quotes by Jack Nicholson
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.

Jack Nicholson
I'm definitely still wild at heart.
Jack Nicholson
There are short parts that I as an actor am very right for. Or I just like the part. Or you need someone like me for the movie. By that I don't mean at the box office, I mean in the execution of the material.
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
When it's over for a woman, it's over. You're not getting an appeal.
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
People who speak in metaphors should shampoo my crotch.
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
The less people know about me, the easier my job is.
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
I've spent more time playing golf than anything else the last 18 years. Just wanted to be an 80s-shooter. Got there, too.
Jack Nicholson
I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability.
Jack Nicholson
You are more thoughtful because you don't act as quickly anymore. When I turned 70 it was the first time I felt young for my age. Fifty dropped on me like a ton of bricks - there is something about that number - but when 70 came along I felt good about it.
Jack Nicholson
In the real world there's an after-effect of disappointment if you lose an argument. But if, to begin with, you're set up not to have this particular autonomy, then you're not disappointed.
Jack Nicholson
