The minute that you're not learning I believe you're dead.

Image
I suppose I can do more for a script as an actor than as a writer - in the film sense.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I wanted to be the best actor possible. I worked very hard at the craft of it.

Well, a girlfriend once told me never to fight with anybody you don't love.

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.

You make me want to be a better man.

Played tennis for years. But you can't improve at tennis after you're 50. You get to be in your 40s, and suddenly you're a doubles player.

I love writing, but I stopped because I felt I was more effective approaching filmmaking from a different vantage point.

People who speak in metaphors should shampoo my crotch.

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.

It always bothered me when people came off stage and were told how great they were. They weren't, really, in my opinion. It was then I started thinking that, contrary to conventional wisdom, film was the artful medium for the actor, not the stage.

Image
Because of the way the business is structured, I have sometimes turned down scripts that I might otherwise have accepted had I known who was directing them.
Jack Nicholson
Image
You can follow the action, which gets you good pictures. You can follow your instincts, which will probably get you in trouble. Or, you can follow the money, which nine times out of ten will get you closer to the truth.
Jack Nicholson
Image
A lot of people can't remember things because they weren't actually there to begin with - they don't take it all in.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I like to not care that much about criticism, but I do care about it.
Jack Nicholson
Image
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.

Just because you're perfectionist doesn't mean you're perfect.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I'd start writing poems about suicide.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I love the company of people. I always have and always will, it comes with my family. But earlier in life I might have got a little nervous if I was alone for a day or two in a row. I might think, Where are they? Now, I just go on doing naturally what I do.

I feel very lucky because I don't think there's any part I can't play. There are parts that scare me more than others.
