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
I wanted to be the best actor possible. I worked very hard at the craft of it.
Jack Nicholson
If I were an Arab-American, I would insist on being profiled. This is not the time for civil rights. There are larger issues for Americans.
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
Acting is everybody's favorite second job.
Jack Nicholson
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
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 have never felt brutalized as an actor. Many actors do, some times, but I've never had that experience. If I'm not happy with the balance, I just won't work with that person again.
Jack Nicholson
We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.
Jack Nicholson
I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.
Jack Nicholson
If you want your freedom, you have to be willing to work hard to exercise it.
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
I only take Viagra when I'm with more than one woman.
Jack Nicholson
With my sunglasses on, I'm Jack Nicholson. Without them, I'm fat and 60.
Jack Nicholson
I goddamn near lost my nose. And I like it. I like breathing through it.
Jack Nicholson
Once I got started acting I loved it.
