More quotes by Jack Nicholson
There are short parts that I as an actor am very right for. Or I just like the part. Or you need someone like me for the movie. By that I don't mean at the box office, I mean in the execution of the material.
Jack Nicholson
A man needs a private life. With no ability to have a private life, one thing leads to another, and before you know it we have Bill and Monica. We need to get real about things. Humans are humans. Why should we expect more?
Jack Nicholson
There's a tacit agreement today that the white male is the only legitimate target for any and all satire, criticism, and so forth. And we pretty much just accept it.
Jack Nicholson
I'd prefer if people had no impressions of me. As a kid, I had to tell my own family, Please, just don't talk about me! Because they always got it wrong. Always. I just didn't want them to tell anyone anything about me.
Jack Nicholson
For a long time, I was afraid to be alone. I had to learn how to be alone. And there are still times when I think, Uh-oh! I gotta talk to somebody here or I'm gonna go crazy! But I like to be alone. Now I do. I really do. There's a big luxury in solitude.
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson
I used to be very quick, I would be able to leave the room and be back before you noticed. When you can't do that anymore you need to change the style of how you do things. But I'm very interested in life and you don't want to lose that.
Jack Nicholson
I've always understood money it's not a big mystical thing to me.
Jack Nicholson
I take responsibility for my successes as well as my failures. But when I look at my professional mistakes, I'm always left with the feeling that maybe I should have done more.
Jack Nicholson
I'm very contra my constituency in terms of abortion because I'm positively against it. I don't have the right to any other view. My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.
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
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
I used to think that one of the great signs of security was the ability to just walk away.
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
Age is the first limitation on roles that I've ever had to encounter, and I hit that awhile ago.
Jack Nicholson
I don't even own a cell phone.
Jack Nicholson
One of my school friends' parents owned a minigolf course, and a bunch of us kids would play there all day in the summer. Two-under deuces was a good score.
