More quotes by Jack Nicholson
I don't want people to know what I'm actually like. It's not good for an actor.
Jack Nicholson
You can't say, I'm gonna make a hit movie. You're as dead as you could be.
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
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
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
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
As an actor, I want to give in to the collaboration with the director because I don't want my work to be all the same. The more this can be done with comfort, the more variety my work has had.
Jack Nicholson
Almost everybody's happy to be a fool for love.
Jack Nicholson
Everyone pretty much acknowledges that he's the man, and I still feel that underrates him.
Jack Nicholson
The way I reacted to 9/11 was I decided I didn't want to do any movies that are sad or critical. I decided I didn't want to make my living depressing people or making them go home sick, so I just decided I wanted to do comedy for a while and study it for a while. It doesn't mean everybody should do that, but that was my reaction.
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
I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.
Jack Nicholson
When you look at life retrospectively you rarely regret anything that you did, but you might regret things that you didn't do.
Jack Nicholson
Everybody said I was good, but being known and not having a big film success is almost tougher than being completely new. It just kind of turned my life around and was definitely a highlight.
Jack Nicholson
Children give your life a resonance that it can't have without them.
Jack Nicholson
Just let the wardrobe do the acting.
Jack Nicholson
I'd give my goddamned soul for just a glass of beer.
Jack Nicholson
I look for a director with a script he likes a lot, but I'm probably after the directors more than anything.
Jack Nicholson
You can't handle the truth!
Jack Nicholson
Always try in interviews to avoid the cliches about the problems of public life.
Jack Nicholson
