There's probably no one who understands Method acting better academically than I do, or actually uses it more in his work. But it's funny - nobody really sees that. It's perception versus reality, I suppose.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

Believe it or not, I supported...

Believe it or not, I supported Richard Nixon on the issue of presidential privilege. How could anyone conceive of being the president of the United States and think that every single thing that you say or do can become a part of the public record? It just seems so stupid to me.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

A man needs a private life. Wi...

A man needs a private life. With no ability to have a private life, one thing leads to another, and before you know it we have Bill and Monica. We need to get real about things. Humans are humans. Why should we expect more?

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I take responsibility for my s...

I take responsibility for my successes as well as my failures. But when I look at my professional mistakes, I'm always left with the feeling that maybe I should have done more.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I'm such a perfectionist. I al...

I'm such a perfectionist. I always feel overpraised or whatever. In the abstract, I know I'm a good person, a good professional. But it's nice to be noticed a little bit, ain't it?

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I'm certainly not as tough as ...

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 307 quotes

Children give your life a reso...

Children give your life a resonance that it can't have without them.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I certainly knew my father. He...

I certainly knew my father. He just didn't happen to be my biological father.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I didn't know that my sister w...

I didn't know that my sister was really my mother until I was thirty-seven years old. But life has taught me that there have been a lot of things that I didn't know.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

It's very easy to go down, so always live up. Incline yourself upward.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I'd prefer if people had no im...

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 307 quotes

Men dominate because of physic...

Men dominate because of physicality, and thus they have mercy where women do not.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

There's a tacit agreement toda...

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 307 quotes

A lot of people in the middle ...

A lot of people in the middle of their lives have a secret yearning for more romance.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I don't know if this is a true...

I don't know if this is a true statistic, but I heard somewhere that there are three times as many single women over forty as single men. That's what we got from the women's movement. The chickens have come home to roost.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I respect the social graces en...

I respect the social graces enormously. How to pass the food. Don't yell from one room to another. Don't go through a closed door without a knock. Open the doors for the ladies. All these millions of simple household behaviors make for a better life. We can't live in constant rebellion against our parents - it's just silly. I'm very well mannered. It's not an abstract thing. It's a shared language of expectations.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I have to keep myself in check...

I have to keep myself in check when I go to the kids' sports events. I sit waaay in the back. I make sure I don't do too much cheering, you know what I mean? I'm still not quite adjusted to this modern school of thought: Oh, it doesn't matter who wins. I'm not all the way there yet, but I accept it from the back row.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I think the Greeks invented sp...

I think the Greeks invented sports as an antidote to philosophy.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I want a big 25-foot pink statue that holds my grave. Or I also might like the way the Indians did it. They hang you up on the top of a tree and the birds eat you. No, really I would probably choose cremating.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

You are more thoughtful becaus...

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.
