More quotes by Jack Nicholson
The minute that you're not learning I believe you're dead.
Jack Nicholson
If you think you’re attractive, you’re always attractive.
Jack Nicholson
I think that's what distinguishes Schmidt, really. In the movies now, so much of what is appealing to an audience is the dramatic or has to do with science fiction, and Schmidt is simply human. There's no melodrama there's no device, It's just about a human being.
Jack Nicholson
Almost everybody's happy to be a fool for love.
Jack Nicholson
My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.
Jack Nicholson
I know I can act. There aren't too many other jobs I know how to do
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'm Irish. I think about death all the time.
Jack Nicholson
I never had a policy about marriage. I got married very young in life and I always think in all relationships, I've always thought that it's counterproductive to have a theory on that.
Jack Nicholson
I've always fought against being controlled and manipulated and stomped upon by circumstances.
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
And this, incidentally, is my thumbnail sketch of American marriage: A woman sees a man she likes him. Now she jumps on this thing and rides it to some kind of standstill. Then she changes it and trains it, and to the exact degree that she's able to do this, she disrespects him.
Jack Nicholson
I suppose I can do more for a script as an actor than as a writer - in the film sense.
Jack Nicholson
I've never been able to say I've been influenced by a list of artists I like because I like thousands and thousands and I've been influenced in some way by all of them.
Jack Nicholson
Believe it or not, I supported Richard Nixon on the issue of presidential privilege. How could anyone conceive of being the president of the United States and think that every single thing that you say or do can become a part of the public record? It just seems so stupid to me.
Jack Nicholson
With my sunglasses on, I'm Jack Nicholson. Without them, I'm fat and 60.
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
How would I like to be seen? Very endearing, charming, intelligent, handsome.
Jack Nicholson
Everyone pretty much acknowledges that he's the man, and I still feel that underrates him.
Jack Nicholson
When you use a dialect, you worry that the people you're imitating will think you're making fun of them.
Jack Nicholson
