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!?

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.

In the real world there's an after-effect of disappointment if you lose an argument. But if, to begin with, you're set up not to have this particular autonomy, then you're not disappointed.

I think that's what distinguishes Schmidt, really. In the movies now, so much of what is appealing to an audience is the dramatic or has to do with science fiction, and Schmidt is simply human. There's no melodrama there's no device, It's just about a human being.

Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I'd start writing poems about suicide.
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.

I've always fought against being controlled and manipulated and stomped upon by circumstances.

I'm the last guy in the world to feel overlooked by the Academy.
