More quotes by Jack Nicholson
In the real world there's an after-effect of disappointment if you lose an argument. But if, to begin with, you're set up not to have this particular autonomy, then you're not disappointed.
Jack Nicholson
My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.
Jack Nicholson
I'm certainly not as tough as people think. I'm not a fighter and so forth. I'd just as soon go home.
Jack Nicholson
I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.
Jack Nicholson
When I am cast in a movie where I feel that the woman's part is more interesting, I usually start thinking about Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. They seem to be the most clear actors when working with women.
Jack Nicholson
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.
Jack Nicholson
When you use a dialect, you worry that the people you're imitating will think you're making fun of them.
Jack Nicholson
The less people know about me, the easier my job is.
Jack Nicholson
Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?
Jack Nicholson
I don't have any plugs or tucks but people do what they want. I look at it as mutilation.
Jack Nicholson
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.
Jack Nicholson
He [Castro] is a genius. We spoke about everything.
Jack Nicholson
I'd give my goddamned soul for just a glass of beer.
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 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.
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
It's not like I'm starved for company - I have a few very good lady friends - but there's only a certain amount of times a woman wants to see you and never go out for dinner.
Jack Nicholson
I have a lot of vanity.
Jack Nicholson
Once I got started acting I loved it.
