More quotes by Jack Nicholson
Just let the wardrobe do the acting.
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

Jack Nicholson
I think the Greeks invented sports as an antidote to philosophy. In sports there are absolute rules. It's not, What about this? What about that? Either you're safe or you're out. It's ten yards or it's not. It's in the hoop or out of the hoop. It's certain.
Jack Nicholson
I know I can act. There aren't too many other jobs I know how to do
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.
Jack Nicholson
I like to not care that much about criticism, but I do care about it.
Jack Nicholson
Women -- a mistake, or did He do it to us on purpose?
Jack Nicholson
I want my kids to have a deep, inner feeling that it's alright to be happy, that you don't have to be constantly manufacturing problems that you don't really have.
Jack Nicholson
I eat breakfast 300 yards from 4000 Cubans, who are trained to kill me, so don't think for one second that you can come down here, flash your badge and make me nervous.
Jack Nicholson
Time keeps no measure when true friends are parted, No record day by day the sands move not for those who, loyal-hearted, friendship's firm laws obey.
Jack Nicholson
I love women who have a strong sense of themselves because I know I have a pretty good idea of what I want out of life and I like to be around other people who are also pretty secure. It just makes things easier.
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
