More quotes by Jack Nicholson
I've always had lots of friends who share my perspective - I guess you could say that I'm a guy who aggressively pursues his happiness.
Jack Nicholson
I can't hit on women in public any more. I didn't decide this it just doesn't feel right at my age.
Jack Nicholson
I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.
Jack Nicholson
Children give your life a resonance that it can't have without them.
Jack Nicholson
I look for a director with a script he likes a lot, but I'm probably after the directors more than anything.
Jack Nicholson
I'm the last guy in the world to feel overlooked by the Academy.
Jack Nicholson
I just know that sameness, repetition, and conceptualizing are the acting craft's adversaries, and it seems more intelligent to start off within a framework where those things are, to some degree, taken out of your hands.
Jack Nicholson
If it is difficult to know yourself as an individual, it seems to be more complex as a couple. So if you say, Oh I like a person who is like this and that, you might take away the possibility of seeing the only one that might be right for you.
Jack Nicholson
[on the birth of his son after having had two daughters] I finally got it right.
Jack Nicholson
When I come up against a director who has a concept that I don't agree with, or maybe I just haven't thought of it or whatever, I'd be more prone to go with them than my own because I want to be out of control as an actor, I want them to have the control, otherwise it's going to become predictably my work, and that's not fun.
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 take responsibility for my successes as well as my failures. But when I look at my professional mistakes, I'm always left with the feeling that maybe I should have done more.
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
It's not like I'm starved for company - I have a few very good lady friends - but there's only a certain amount of times a woman wants to see you and never go out for dinner.
Jack Nicholson
I only take Viagra when I'm with more than one woman.
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
The way I reacted to 9/11 was I decided I didn't want to do any movies that are sad or critical. I decided I didn't want to make my living depressing people or making them go home sick, so I just decided I wanted to do comedy for a while and study it for a while. It doesn't mean everybody should do that, but that was my reaction.
Jack Nicholson
We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.
Jack Nicholson
I've always fought against being controlled and manipulated and stomped upon by circumstances.
Jack Nicholson
Human beings are always going to find interesting ways of making a mess of their lives. It's human nature.
Jack Nicholson
