Jack nicholson

I don't have any plugs or tucks but people do what they want. I look at it as mutilation.

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.

I've been too many places. I'm like the bad penny.

In other words, I wouldn't like to be an actor if I could only be real. I like to get wild, behaviorally wild, and it's crazy to think of any form where it's just one way.

There's a period just before you start a movie when you start thinking, I don't know what in the world I'm going to do. It's free-floating anxiety. In my case, though, this is over by lunch the first...

I've spent more time playing golf than anything else the last 18 years. Just wanted to be an 80s-shooter. Got there, too.

My whole career strategy has been to build a base so that I could take the roles I want to play. I'd hate to think that a shorter part might not be available because I was worried about my billing.

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.

I learned a long time ago in Hollywood that the only person I should vote for is myself.

I have a lot of vanity.
