I never thought in terms of typing myself, because I wasn't that successful. After an actor has done a few pieces of work, his na?vet? is the part of the craft he has to nurture most.

I've always fought against being controlled and manipulated and stomped upon by circumstances.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I mean, it's real hard to be ...

I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

I used to be very quick, I wo...

I used to be very quick, I would be able to leave the room and be back before you noticed. When you can't do that anymore you need to change the style of how you do things. But I'm very interested in life and you don't want to lose that.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

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.

Always try in interviews to avoid the cliches about the problems of public life.

I'm very fortunate in the sense that outside of cohabitating relationships and so forth, I've always got on just as well with women.

I've always thought basketball was the best sport, although it wasn't the sport I was best at. It was just the most fun to watch.

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.

I don't even own a cell phone.

Comedy is much harder, it's a lot more exacting. You can't just be real and you can't just use the same kind of techniques you use to fill up a regular scene.

There are many directors in the middle range who've made mostly successful pictures, and then there are a few great directors who've had some successes and some failures. I suppose my life would be smoother if I wasn't almost totally enamored of the latter category.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

There are short parts that I ...

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

I resist all established beli...

I resist all established beliefs. My religion basically is to be immediate, to live in the now. It's an old cliche, I know, but it's mine. I envy people of faith. I'm incapable of believing in anything supernatural. So far, at least. Not that I wouldn't like to. I mean, I want to believe. 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 ... Do unto others: How much deeper into religion do we really need to go?

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

Now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But remember, as my plastic surgeon always said: if you gotta go, go with a smile.

Jack Nicholson 307 quotes

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.

[on the birth of his son after having had two daughters] I finally got it right.

I assume most of the characters I play are exactly like me.

Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?

I'm not a power person. I like everyone to be on an equal footing.
