Jack Nicholson
The less people know about me, the easier my job is.
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 can't hit on women in public any more. I didn't decide this it just doesn't feel right at my age.
