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.

There's a period just before you start a movie when you start thinking, I don't know what in the world I'm going to do. It's free-floating anxiety. In my case, though, this is over by lunch the first day of shooting.

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.

Everybody's old enough for a beer, ain't that right, Mule?

No issue is more compelling than the air we breathe, be it hot or cold, be it hawk or human.

On the birth of his son after having had two daughters: I finally got it right.

When we make mistakes they call it evil. When God makes mistakes they call it Nature!

Million bucks won't see you through a major health crisis.

I'm fairly well off. I can't poor-mouth that away from people's sensibilities about me, which is something I worry about as an actor. But it would be real stupid of me to do something for the money.

It's the post-literate generation that is most disturbing to a movie-maker. The explosions and the knifings. People like to go to what's hot and you can't get past a certain gross unless you involve children who go more than once.

You're anachronistic when you know that your feelings aren't going to have any effect on anything.

It [TV] is the cancer of film. It's why people can't be educated to film. In the late '60s, we expected to see a movie or two every week and be stimulated, excited and inspired. And we did. Every week after week. Antonioni, Goddard, Truffaut - this endless list of people. And then comes television and home video. I know how to work exactly for the big screen, but it doesn't matter what I think about the art of movie-making versus TV.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

The first role I ever played I...

The first role I ever played I had the lead and it's pretty much stayed that way, though people take great relish in calling me a character actor, which I am. There are a lot of short parts I could play, but I only do them when they are central to the idea of the movie.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

There are short parts that I a...

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 307 quotes

There has long been a bemoanin...

There has long been a bemoaning of the lack of opportunity to make films that are anything but explosions or the ladling on the pea soup or whatever you want to call it. You can hardly make a movie where somebody isn't a murderer or a rapist or, if it's a 'Fried Green Tomatoes' that isn't some wistful thing on this, that or the other thing.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

Freedom in every sense but pri...

Freedom in every sense but primarily political sense, a rise in repression that stems from a repression of sexuality. It's AIDS, it's herpes, it's this, it's that. Ask any saloon owner what's happened to social life in America and they'll tell you it's a different world and these people are strongly misinformed by the media, peer pressure.

Having kids is the most innately positive thing that anyone can do.

I would never say, 'I'm retired.' I believe if I decided to just not work, in six months everybody would just forget whether you were working or not.

You can't handle the truth!
