Jack Nicholson
Image
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.

Most of the early part of an actor's career, you do the jobs you get.
Jack Nicholson
Image
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.

Financially, I've lost money and made money, but I know my way around financially.
