I learned a long time ago in Hollywood that the only person I should vote for is myself. - Jack Nicholson
I never had a policy about marriage. I got married very young in life and I always think in all relationships, I've always thought that it's counterproductive to have a theory on that. - Jack Nicholson
I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped. - 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
I used to think that one of the great signs of security was the ability to just walk away. - Jack Nicholson
I worry from the moment I take a job. I worry about how I'm going to do it, if I can do it... Then I walk on set and the director says, 'Roll', and all of a sudden, all of it disappears and it's all happening, and I relax, and I'm doing what I do, and I'm not even thinking about it. - Jack Nicholson
I would never complain about my life, even though I really would like to have a mate. - Jack Nicholson
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. - Jack Nicholson
If I go into a restaurant there's a very good chance that I'm going to spend my time being the mayor. If I want to have a good time, I'm happier having dinner here. - Jack Nicholson
If men are honest, everything they do and everywhere they go is for a chance to see women. - Jack Nicholson
If you get an impulse in a scene, no matter how wrong it seems, follow the impulse. It might be something and if it ain't - take two! - Jack Nicholson
I'll tell you one thing: Don't ever give anybody your best advice, because they're not going to follow it. - Jack Nicholson
I'm an actor who they said was wrinkled and balding and everything else when I was in my early 30's. Most of the people who wrote that who thought they were younger than me are now bald and wrinkled. - Jack Nicholson
I'm content with the fact that I made a decent effort. That's what I've always worried about: that I wouldn't try hard enough. - Jack Nicholson
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. - Jack Nicholson
