Mike Nichols

“The only safe thing is to take a chance.”

“Being with an insanely jealous person is like being in the room with a dead mammoth.”

“Jack Nicholson always tells the truth - in acting and in life.  He has something that Brando also has - complete comfort with and in his body.”

“There are three things I never saw Elizabeth Taylor do.  Be on time.  Tell a lie.  Be unkind to anyone.”

“Nerves provide me with energy...  It’s when I don’t have them, when I feel at ease, that’s when I get worried.”
