More quotes by Jack Nicholson
There's a period just before you start a movie when you start thinking, I don't know what in the world I'm going to do. It's free-floating anxiety. In my case, though, this is over by lunch the first day of shooting.
Jack Nicholson
I've always understood money it's not a big mystical thing to me.
Jack Nicholson
I'm certainly not as tough as people think. I'm not a fighter and so forth. I'd just as soon go home.
Jack Nicholson
Do you think God knew what he was doing when he created woman?
Jack Nicholson
I wanted to be the best actor possible. I worked very hard at the craft of it.
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
As a means of supporting experiential element in film, once I begin to work on a particular movie I consider myself to be the tool of the director.
Jack Nicholson
I'd prefer if people had no impressions of me. As a kid, I had to tell my own family, Please, just don't talk about me! Because they always got it wrong. Always. I just didn't want them to tell anyone anything about me.
Jack Nicholson
One of my school friends' parents owned a minigolf course, and a bunch of us kids would play there all day in the summer. Two-under deuces was a good score.
Jack Nicholson
My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.
Jack Nicholson
The minute that you're not learning I believe you're dead.
Jack Nicholson
Now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But remember, as my plastic surgeon always said: if you gotta go, go with a smile.
Jack Nicholson
I feel very lucky because I don't think there's any part I can't play. There are parts that scare me more than others.
Jack Nicholson
I guess this proves there are as many nuts in the Academy as anywhere else.
Jack Nicholson
I'm not a power person. I like everyone to be on an equal footing.
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
Age is the first limitation on roles that I've ever had to encounter, and I hit that awhile ago.
Jack Nicholson
Just let the wardrobe do the acting.
Jack Nicholson
We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.
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
