“If you get an impulse in a scene, no matter how wrong it seems, follow the impulse. It might be something and if it ain’t – take two!”

Just let the wardrobe do the acting.

Age is the first limitation on roles that I’ve ever had to encounter, and I hit that a while ago.

If men are honest, everything they do and everywhere they go is for a chance to see women.

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.

We are going as fast as we can as soon as we can. We’re in a race against time, until we run out of money.

Don’t ever give anybody your best advice, because they’re not going to follow it.

I can’t hit on women in public any more. I didn’t decide this; it just doesn’t feel right at my age.

The average celebrity meets, in one year, ten times the amount of people that the average person meets in his entire life.

My motto is more good times.

Frankly, I got into the movies because I like the movies a lot.

With my sunglasses on, I’m Jack Nicholson. Without them, I’m fat and 60.

It’s a slight stretch of the imagination but most people are alike in most ways so I’ve never had any trouble identifying with the character that I’m playing.

I don’t think many people have a very good understanding of leisure and the importance it plays in our lives.

There’s only two people in your life you should lie to… the police and your girlfriend.

A lot of people can’t remember things because they weren’t actually there to begin with – they don’t take it all in.

Well, a girlfriend once told me never to fight with anybody you don’t love.

Laughter, ridicule, opposition, persecution, are often the only reward which Christ’s followers get from the world.

When you follow your bliss, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you.

Follow your bliss. The heroic life is living the individual adventure. There is no security in following the call to adventure. Nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be.

Making disciples isn’t about gathering pupils to listen to your teaching. The real focus is not on teaching people at all–the focus is on loving them.

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.

You should know that I lead, not follow.

Now go peacefully wherever you desire. The sun follows you.

Lukewarm people call ‘radical’ what Jesus expected of all His followers.
