JACK NICHOLSON’S BEST MOVIE QUOTES, You only lie to two people in your life, your girlfriend and the police. Everybody else you tell the truth to.†— Jack Nicholson in the April 1994 issue of Vanity Fair.
Jack Nicholson is great with memorable personal quotes like the one above, but he’s primarily thought of as someone who delivers a writer’s lines so well, that they have a good chance of landing in the next American Film Institute’s list of 100 Greatest Movie Quotes. At least half of the credit goes to Nicholson’s delivery.
There are a lot of good actors but none that I know of can quite deliver dialog in the same memorable way Jack does. I can’t speak for everyone (well, actually I can, but it wouldn’t be honest), but I can give you my own list of favorite Nicholson movie quotes.
