I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person. - Jack Nicholson
I just like art. I get pure pleasure from it. I have a lot of wonderful paintings, and every time I look at them I see something different. - 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
