Jack Nicholson

"I am a person who is trained to look other people in the eye. But I can't look into the eyes of everyone who wants to look into mine; I can't emotionally cope with that kind of volume. Sunglasses are part of my armor."

"You know, I think I understand what you're like now. You're very beautiful and you think men are only interested in you because you're beautiful.
