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

Jack Nicholson
I guess this proves there are as many nuts in the Academy as anywhere else.
Jack Nicholson
Before I moved into the mainstream of American movies, I wrote a script as an experiment. I wanted to get very far away from the clichés about the three-act play - structure, development.
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
Through all permutations and youthful poetry, I came to believe that the film actor was the great literateur of his time.
Jack Nicholson
I don't have any plugs or tucks but people do what they want. I look at it as mutilation.
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
Most of the early part of an actor's career, you do the jobs you get.
Jack Nicholson
