Jack Nicholson
The only way to break a bad habit was to replace it with a better habit.
Jack Nicholson
Almost everybody's happy to be a fool for love.
Jack Nicholson
Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I'd start writing poems about suicide.

I'd give my goddamned soul for just a glass of beer.
Jack Nicholson
Do you think God knew what he was doing when he created woman?
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
If you're going to write, write one poem all your life, let nobody read it, and then burn it. This is very young thinking, I confess, but it is the seminal part of my life.
Jack Nicholson
I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.
Jack Nicholson
I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.
Jack Nicholson
The blues and jazz will live forever... So will the Delta and the Big Easy.
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
I eat breakfast 300 yards from 4000 Cubans, who are trained to kill me, so don't think for one second that you can come down here, flash your badge and make me nervous.
Jack Nicholson
People who speak in metaphors should shampoo my crotch.
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
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.
