More quotes by Jack Nicholson
Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?
Jack Nicholson
I began to think that the finest modern writer was the screen actor. This was in the spirit of the Fifties where a very antiliterary literature was emerging - Kenneth Patchen and others. I kind of believed what Nietzsche said, that nothing not written in your blood is worth reading it's just more pollution of the airwaves.
Jack Nicholson
Many actors will try something different once, but if it isn't a box office success they'll never do it again. In my opinion, there's no point in going on with this job if you do the same thing over and over again.
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
Take caution in your tone, commander. I'm a fair man, but this -- heat is making me absolutely crazy.
Jack Nicholson
Once I got started acting I loved it.
Jack Nicholson
The only way to break a bad habit was to replace it with a better habit.
Jack Nicholson
I do pray. I pray to something...up there. I have a God sense. It's not religious so much as superstitious. It's part of being human, I guess.
Jack Nicholson
I like to not care that much about criticism, but I do care about it.
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
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
I'm not hard to get along with.
Jack Nicholson
I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.
Jack Nicholson
I'm Irish. I think about death all the time.
Jack Nicholson
In my last year of school, I was voted Class Optimist and Class Pessimist. Looking back, I realize I was only half right.
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
I goddamn near lost my nose. And I like it. I like breathing through it.
Jack Nicholson
Always try in interviews to avoid the cliches about the problems of public life.
Jack Nicholson
With my sunglasses on, I'm Jack Nicholson. Without them, I'm fat and 60.
Jack Nicholson
Comedy is much harder, it's a lot more exacting. You can't just be real and you can't just use the same kind of techniques you use to fill up a regular scene.
Jack Nicholson
