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

  • There were points in my life where I felt oddly irresistible to women. I'm not in that state now and that makes me sad.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I'm Irish. I think about death all the time.
