This is the best interview I have ever seen with Jack Nicholson. His work will stand the test of time for generations to come.

He didn't want to overexpose his career to lengthen it, I feel the same

In the end I think that Jack Nicholson's career is gonna be remembered as the best one along with Marlon Brando's and ahead of the likes of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.

He didn't do many interview, because he wanted the audience to see the character he was playing on screen, not him the celebrity

Goddamnit! It just is! Okay? Thank you.

Class, intelligent, Charming, insightful, talented. Not only the greatest actor but the greatest Movie Star.

Mr. Nicholson is so humble and kind. That is what I like about him so much. He just comes across as a really nice human being. I know that he is facing issues now with his health. He is so kind to approaching fans in his limo to sign when probably many are dealers. He has absolutely zero ego. Just so kind and thoughtful. I wish I could be so humble. He deals with his fame so thoughtfully. I so much appreciate his work Thank you for posting this wonderful interview.

I personally couldn't care less about those aspects. What an artist is like as a person (if an actor can be called an artist at all) is of no consequence. Caravaggio was a murderer: does that make him a lesser painter? No. A petition was signed to remove Van Gogh from the house in Arles because he was "a danger to women and children": is he one of the world's most celebrated artists? Yes. Heidegger was a Nazi: did it enter his philosophy? No. Don't misunderstand me: how we operate as moral beings is of utmost importance, but I don't think it should affect our appreciation of art or artist.

@@jimnewcombe7584 it's of consequence to the one who posted the comment you're replying to. You can make your points without dismissing those of someone else and perhaps you should in the future if you want yours to receive equal consideration. He's not harming anyone by saying he likes the guy- neither should you as an operating moral being in your response.

@@jimnewcombe7584 Ha ha, would appear you failed to notice that tompennock was talking about Mr Nicholson the man, not about his craft or the characters he plays. So, while I fully agree with what you say about the artist the person versus the artist's work, I do not fully agree with dismissing someone's comment with what amounts to little less than irrelevant observations.

Jack has had a wonderful, extremely enriched life. Great actor...natural..cerebral. What a life!

Glad he turned down The Godfather, Pacino was perfect. Really like that Jack turned it down as he saw that they needed an Italian for it,.would have been so easy to take what would have been the biggest role going at the time.

Omg his voice in that clip...so high when he was younger

Thank you so much for uploading this fascinating interview

What a great interview! I didn't know this existed.

Great interview

What a man

Grrat interview

Really insightful about how he draws his characters, eg. Carnal Knowledge and The Last Detail.

That killer smile

Bloody intelligent/articulate gentleman and courteous. 'I like the unpopular statement... I think it's part of your vocation. I think you have to not always be... extolling what's fashionably popular at the moment. I think that's another vitalizing element, not moral, but craft' (16:41). A superb formulation of what should be but isn't patently obvious when it comes to art. Funny, every time I watch the scene from 'Five Easy Pieces', and hear him say: 'I don't know that, uh, if you could talk, we wouldn't be talking' (13:39), I want him to have said, 'I don't know that, if you could talk, we WOULD be talking.' Difficult to make sense to me, because of the double negative. And must agree with the writer: the scene is out of place in that it explains something that is not otherwise explained and is best not explained. (And surely his wing-flapping in 'Easy Rider' (upon drinking the liquor) was modelled on John Cleese?)

14:52 the interviewer doesn't seem to know JN's family history... not an easy one. JN: "I had a fairly easy life". Family-wise, which was relevant to what they were discussing, not at all. He likely didn't want to go into there, but no, not really. You can google it now...

I want you to begin scanning, are you ready?

Well this is a gem of a find. Apparantly he would not do interviews like Parkinson and the like. Maybe he wanted to talk super serious about the business only?

Not pertinent, but none fulminate like Mr. Nicholson

Giant elbow patches?

My friend & I used to laugh because he punched her A55... like why? I need an explanation
