I don't believe in God now. I can still work up an envy for someone who has a faith. I can see how that could be a deeply soothing experience.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I don't play golf competitive...

I don't play golf competitively. I tell everybody that I cheat so they won't gamble with me. That's why you can't watch football. Everybody's gambling. They don't want to watch the game; they watch the spread.

When you use a dialect, you worry that the people you're imitating will think you're making fun of them.

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.

If you're going to write, write one poem all your life, let nobody read it, and then burn it. This is very young thinking, I confess, but it is the seminal part of my life.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

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 307 quotes

You have to do every movie on...

You have to do every movie one at a time. Trilogy is contrary to this ideology. My nightmare is to wake up and find myself the host of a TV series.

Charlize Theron and Cate Blanchett are very good actresses.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

There has long been a bemoani...

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 today 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.

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

I did not want to be coming off the stage at the mercy of what somebody else told me I did.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I do pray. I pray to something...up there. I have a God sense. It's not religious so much as superstitious. It's part of being human, I guess.

Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You!?

The most difficult thing about being well known? Getting out of a hotel room at 4am.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

The first role I ever played ...

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 like this ("A Few Good Men"), central to the idea of the movie.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I wasn't a babe in the woods....

I wasn't a babe in the woods. I'd watched a lot of stars, from James Dean to Brando, and I'd seen everybody alive work at MGM. I had a certain old-timer's quality, even though I was young and new, and drew on what I believed before I made it.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

Everybody said I was good, bu...

Everybody said I was good, but being known and not having a big film success is almost tougher than being completely new. It just kind of turned my life around and was definitely a highlight.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

Freedom in every sense but pr...

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 in the past 12 years and they'll tell you it's a different world and these people are strongly misinformed by the media, peer pressure.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

As a means of supporting experiential element in film, once I begin to work on a particular movie I consider myself to be the tool of the director.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

Because of the way the business is structured, I have sometimes turned down scripts that I might otherwise have accepted had I known who was directing them.
