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.

For a long time, I was afraid to be alone. I had to learn how to be alone. And there are still times when I think, Uh-oh! I gotta talk to somebody here or I'm gonna go crazy! But I like to be alone. Now I do. I really do. There's a big luxury in solitude.
Jack Nicholson

Staying together is a challenge. We all have to accept qualities in other people that aren't always exactly what we want or need.
Jack Nicholson
Women -- a mistake, or did He do it to us on purpose?
Jack Nicholson
If I were an Arab-American, I would insist on being profiled. This is not the time for civil rights. There are larger issues for Americans.
Jack Nicholson
Even in the most sophisticated person, it is the primitive eye that watches the film.
Jack Nicholson
For an actor, style comes last. You first have to implement the whole thing, but your style comes from the subconscious, which is the best part an actor brings to his work.
Jack Nicholson
Financially, I've lost money and made money, but I know my way around financially.
Jack Nicholson
