“There's a period just before you start a movie when you start thinking...” — Jack Nicholson Quote

“There's a period just before you start a movie when you start thinking, I don't know what in the world I'm going to do. It's free-floating anxiety. In my case, though, this is over by lunch the first day of shooting.”

“I just like art. I get pure pleasure from it. I have a lot of wonderful paintings, and every time I look at them I see something different.”

“Age is the first limitation on roles that I've ever had to encounter, and I hit that awhile ago.”

“I did not love going out to parties or even get-togethers, really - I went to the movies, which, if you think about it, is an isolating experience anyway - and this was because I had anxiety about interacting with people.”

“I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves, whether it's shyness, insecurity, anxiety, whether it's a physical block, and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. It's truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day.”
