"Age is the first limitation on roles that I’ve ever had to encounter, and I hit that awhile ago." ― Jack Nicholson Topic(s): Age More From Jack Nicholson "I’ll tell you one thing: Don’t ever give anybody your best advice, because they’re not going to follow it." "I’m Irish. I think about death all the time." "I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn’t repeat a success. Very often you’re going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it. But then you’re trapped." More In Age "This is my 20th year in the sport. I’ve known swimming and that’s it. I don’t want to swim past age 30; if I continue after this Olympics, and come back in 2016, I’ll be 31. I’m looking forward to being able to see the other side of the fence."― Michael Phelps "Every age develops its own peculiar forms of pathology, which express in exaggerated form its underlying character structure."― Christopher Lasch "Nearly all the powerful people of this age are unbelievers, the best of them in doubt and misery, the most in plodding hesitation, doing as well as they can, what practical work lies at hand."― John Ruskin
