More quotes by Jack Nicholson
Even in the most sophisticated person, it is the primitive eye that watches the film.
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
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 don't even own a cell phone.
Jack Nicholson
With comedy, you have to do it right. In a drama, there's a lot of different ways to succeed in a moment. But comedy comes from reality. You can't try to be funny.
Jack Nicholson
I've always had lots of friends who share my perspective - I guess you could say that I'm a guy who aggressively pursues his happiness.
Jack Nicholson
People who speak in metaphors should shampoo my crotch.
Jack Nicholson
I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.
Jack Nicholson
It's a slight stretch of the imagination but most people are alike in most ways so I've never had any trouble identifying with the character that I'm playing.
Jack Nicholson
I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace.
Jack Nicholson
My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.
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.
Jack Nicholson
When it's over for a woman, it's over. You're not getting an appeal.
Jack Nicholson
The only way to break a bad habit was to replace it with a better habit.
Jack Nicholson
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.
Jack Nicholson
I've always fought against being controlled and manipulated and stomped upon by circumstances.
Jack Nicholson
We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.
Jack Nicholson
The minute that you're not learning I believe you're dead.
Jack Nicholson
I never had a policy about marriage. I got married very young in life and I always think in all relationships, I've always thought that it's counterproductive to have a theory on that.
Jack Nicholson
In this industry, there are only two ways up the ladder. Rung by rung or claw your way to the top. It's sure been tough on my nails.
Jack Nicholson
