Age is the first limitation on roles that I've ever had to encounter, and I hit that awhile ago. - Jack Nicholson
Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I'd start writing poems about suicide. - Jack Nicholson
I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person. - 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
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
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

When I come up against a director who has a concept that I don't agree with, or maybe I just haven't thought of it or whatever, I'd be more prone to go with them than my own because I want to be out of control as an actor, I want them to have the control, otherwise it's going to become predictably my work, and that's not fun. - Jack Nicholson
When I was in high school, I earned the pimple award and every other gross-out award. - Jack Nicholson
