Jack Nicholson

If Jack Nicholson was not, it would have to come up with, because without such a charismatic, charming and talented actor film simply could not do without. Three-time winner of the "Oscar" is considered not only genius in the business, but also a real man-tempter (he often admitted that in my life slept with over 2,000 women). If this is true, I would not be surprised. Yes, though not handsome, but as men of charm and inner energy! For me, it's amazing, because in his life's journey, I have not met a man at least a bit of come close to Nicholson in it. In his 74 he is still the man, not an old man. "Flew Over the Cuckoo," "The Shining," "Batman," "The Departed" - these films are worth seeing, though not all of them are really good, but Nicholson in each of them is amazing, bright and unique. He does not consider himself a "cool", recalling that in life it is quite different than on the screen, but the rules of life of the man still there.

I always wear sunglasses because I was prescribed them. Once upon a time the average American in me believed that there is a certain amount of affectation. But in southern California is very bright sun. In addition, if you are known disadvantages of living in public, you are beginning to recognize the need for protection. I am accustomed to look people in the eye, but I can not look into the eyes of anyone who wants to look at my: I just do not suffice for this spiritual strength.





I hate the advice - all except his.

I hate to give advice, because people still do not listen to them.

I love to talk. I am always ready to change his mind, if only to convince me. Perhaps I am the only Liberal who has read "The Betrayal" Ann Coulter. I want to know, you know? I like to listen to others. This is for me a true elixir of life.

I think very few people really understand what the rest and how important it is to rest properly. Now people are competing with each other on the part of the rest, as if to fit into our puritanical view of the world, he must have some added value. But if you play golf, to arrange for a loan, it's not golf, right?



I was very pleased with the Joker. I look at it as a work in the style of pop art.



After September 11, 2001, I kept quiet. All possible positions were announced: for, against, good and evil ... I had nothing to add. And I thought, now is the time to intervene clowns. You see what I mean? That is why I have devoted several years comedies.



In my opinion, those who were born after the war, alien to the idea of ​​personal responsibility. It seems to me a tiny but important difference in generations, which explains a lot. People are disappointed. They do not want to take responsibility for their own failures, preferring to say: "I am, and that's the reason," or "it happened to me something, and that's the reason." Everyone tries to blame everything on someone or something.



Recently, I attach less importance to the fact that the actors are usually called "creating an image". All these limping and lisp, manner of speaking ... I do not feel like messing with them. It must come from within. The main thing - who you are. Here's what you need to work. For any role I come autobiographical.

Today I spoke on the phone with Sean Penn. I found it interesting that I do not have among the actors - the supporters of the Stanislavsky method, which recently published a list in one article, and I told him about it. And he added: "I still manage to fool them!" I think it's an achievement. Because, in my opinion, in the acting world, there is almost no one who better understands the Stanislavski method and more guided them in their work than I do. It is strange that no one notices. Perhaps it is because the reality and the idea of ​​it often diverge.



My motto is: Live with pleasure.

Of course, I'm not as cool as me thinking. Not a fighter, and so on. If anything, I'd better go home.

Children give the fullness of your life, which is impossible without them.



Indeed, up to thirty-seven years, I did not know that my sister - in fact, my mother. But I have long realized that the world is a lot of things that I do not know. If I give too much importance to what I do not know, nothing good will come of it. Do focus on the positive - that's my opinion. It's a trick, but useful.

Men dominate because of their physical strength, and because they are capable of compassion, where the woman did not show.

For a woman - if it's over, so it's over. Their verdict is not appealable.

A lot of middle-aged people secretly dream about making their life was more romance.

I do not know whether this is correct statistics, but I heard somewhere that single women over forty are now three times more than single men. That's what brought the women's movement. Chicken dispersed to their hen house.

I am very sensitive to the rules of etiquette. How to pass the plate. Do not shout from one room to another. Do not plow a closed door without knocking. Skip forward lady. The aim of all these countless simple rules - to make life better. We can not live in a chronic state of war with their parents - it's stupid. I carefully watch your manners. This is not some abstraction. This is all understandable language of mutual respect.



I resist all commonly accepted beliefs. My religion is reduced to being direct, to live in the present. It's an old cliché, I know, but it's mine.

I'm jealous of the believers. I myself am not able to believe in anything supernatural. Anyway, for now. Not that I did not want it. That is, I want to believe. Even I am praying. I pray something ... higher. I have a sense of God. I think it has more superstitious than religious. I think it's human nature.

Do unto others as you want them to do to you: if you think about what else we need religion?

I never turn the language to scold those who believe abortion is murder. I myself am a bastard. Now I could not be.



I love working with women directors. They were not sorry to make you charming.

I'm very lucky in the sense that, in addition to any cohabitation and the like, I always got along very well with women.

I often ask myself the theoretical question: If I were starting now, I would eventually shoot porn to live?

For a long time I was afraid to be alone. I had to get used to being alone. I still sometimes think: oh-oh-oh, I need to talk to someone, and then I go crazy! But now I like to be alone. Fair. Loneliness - is a luxury.

I'm getting grouch, it's true. Nobody yells and screams more than me. But the hardest days are when I come home and suddenly realize, "Damn! They were right! Well, moron, I "! And this happens at least once or twice on each picture when you ... before you confident in yourself, you're such an important bird, you know what I mean? And then you come home and discover that you're a nerd.
