Two interesting quotes from Jack Nicholson, from interviews done around the time he was working on “The Shining”:
The average celebrity meets in one year ten times the amount of people that the average person meets in his entire life.
[A]s a successful actor you can’t have one set of theories; y’know, you can go for years saying “I’m gonna get this thing real because they really haven’t seen it real – y’know, they just keep seeing one fashion of unreal after the other that passes as real” and, y’know, you go mad with realism and then you come up against someone like Stanley [Kubrick] who says “yeah, it’s real, but it’s not interesting”.
