More quotes by Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
I've never been able to say I've been influenced by a list of artists I like because I like thousands and thousands and I've been influenced in some way by all of them.
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
Once I got started acting I loved it.
Jack Nicholson
I have to keep myself in check when I go to the kids' sports events. I sit waaay in the back. I make sure I don't do too much cheering, you know what I mean? I'm still not quite adjusted to this modern school of thought: Oh, it doesn't matter who wins. I'm not all the way there yet, but I accept it from the back row.
Jack Nicholson
I've spent more time playing golf than anything else the last 18 years. Just wanted to be an 80s-shooter. Got there, too.
Jack Nicholson
Just because you're perfectionist doesn't mean you're perfect.
Jack Nicholson
People who speak in metaphors should shampoo my crotch.
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
Almost everybody's happy to be a fool for love.
Jack Nicholson
