Early on the whole point of acting was mostly getting a job and then the experience of doing it. But when I did Ride in the Whirlwind (1965) with Jack Nicholson in 1965 I discovered there was more to it than that. It was a key film for me because of that....
Harry Stanton
I think if there was a role that Robert De Niro was hungry for, he would come after it. I don`t think Jack Nicholson would. Jack has money and influence and girls, and I think he`s a little bit like Marlon Brando, except Brando went through some tough tim...
Francis Ford Coppola
[on Jack Nicholson] Jack had a great sense of humor. He still does. He`s crazy and a beautiful guy. I always think it`s nice when somebody who`s paid his dues, like Jack, makes it. But he hasn`t really changed much.
Quincy Jones
[About working with Jack Nicholson on Batman (1989)] "By the time Jack walks onto the set, he feels very clear and strong about the character. So when you`re shooting it`s great, because that`s when you toy around with the levels of how broad to go."
Tim Burton
I think we all have a private bucket list. It may not be written down, but I`m constantly checking them off. I just checked off Jack Nicholson. Every day was a holiday because I`ve been praying at the temple of Jack ever since Five Easy Pieces. I had a ch...
Morgan Freeman
[on being accused of copying Jack Nicholson] If I make a move, like raise my eyebrows, some critic says I`m doing Nicholson. What am I supposed to do, cut off my eyebrows?
Christian Slater

Christian Slater
[on Jack Nicholson] He`s eccentric but very interesting. A unique kind of approach. He shines because he`s himself a rather interesting eccentric. A very fascinating actor.
George C. Scott
[on Jack Nicholson] Jack is the sort of guy who takes parts others have turned down, might turn down, and explodes them into something nobody could have conceived of. All his brilliance of character and gesture is consumed and made invisible by the expans...
Mike Nichols
I aspire to be Jack Nicholson. I love his every single mannerism. I used to try and be him in virtually everything I did, I don`t know why. I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo`s Nest when I was about 13, and I dressed like him. I tried to do his accent. I ...
Robert Pattinson
I admire Albert Finney very much, his performances always look so effortless. And of course, my good friend Jack Nicholson, who lives life to the full, and who never ever does things by halves. He`s a real hero!
Michael Douglas
There were many times when my father [John Huston] and I didn`t agree, but we always became close again because I tended not to stand up to him for long. I seem to have been drawn to dominating men, like my father and Jack [Jack Nicholson].
Anjelica Huston
You`re new here, aren`t you? Nicholson, who rarely is seen in public without his sunglasses, replied when asked by a photographer to take off his glasses for a photo.
Jack Nicholson
[on Jack Nicholson] Jack! You see how angry he gets in a scene? Unbelievably scary! He can not stop, he goes into a kind of it, you dunno whether he is acting any more!
Roman Polanski
[on Jack Nicholson] I have great respect for him. Not only as an artist but as an individual. He has a fine eye for good paintings and a good ear for fine music. And he`s a lovely man to drink with. A boon companion! I`d like to make more pictures with Ja...
John Huston
Nicholson [Jack Nicholson]? As far as I`m concerned, he`s a balding midget. He stands five-foot-seven, you know. He tries to play heavies and doesn`t quite make it.
Oliver Reed

Oliver Reed
(On accepting her Golden Globe in 2007 without a written speech) "The Globes night was a frenzy: I hadn`t written anything. I looked down at the audience and Jack Nicholson was staring up at me and I couldn`t even remember what my bloody name was. So I ha...
Emily Blunt
[on The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)]: The original script was ridiculous, with elephant charges and girls screaming round in the jungle. When David Lean arrived, with a new screenwriter, it became a very different thing. I saw Nicholson as an effectiv...
Alec Guinness
[on Heath Ledger`s performance as The Joker] The worry going in was The Joker. Jack Nicholson was the greatest Joker so, you know, how do you top that? Well, Heath Ledger`s done it and he`s extraordinary. He`s gone in a completely different direction to J...
Michael Caine
Jack Nicholson is a textbook actor who`s very intuitive. He is absolutely brilliant at going as far as you can go, always pushing to the edge, but still making it seem real.
Tim Burton
It was also wonderful to have the prospect of playing with Jack Nicholson. It was a terrific part, a terrific script, with Alexander Payne and Jack Nicholson. You can`t get any better than that!
Kathy Bates
