More quotes by Jack Nicholson
You make me want to be a better man.
Jack Nicholson
I don't want people to know what I'm actually like. It's not good for an actor.
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
Children give your life a resonance that it can't have without them.
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
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.

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
Men dominate because of physicality, and thus they have mercy where women do not.
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
Played tennis for years. But you can't improve at tennis after you're 50. You get to be in your 40s, and suddenly you're a doubles player.
Jack Nicholson
When I am cast in a movie where I feel that the woman's part is more interesting, I usually start thinking about Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. They seem to be the most clear actors when working with women.
Jack Nicholson
I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability.
Jack Nicholson
I wanted to be the best actor possible. I worked very hard at the craft of it.
Jack Nicholson
I think the Greeks invented sports as an antidote to philosophy.
Jack Nicholson
Take caution in your tone, commander. I'm a fair man, but this -- heat is making me absolutely crazy.
Jack Nicholson
The minute that you're not learning I believe you're dead.
Jack Nicholson
