"Robert Mitchum came up to me during the (Oscar) ceremony once and sensed I was a little nervous. So he leaned
over and whispered in my ear, 'Remember, it's all a crock of shit'"

"Early on in my film career, when I started getting interviewed, I decided I was going to lie to the press, since I didn't think I had anything to say that was really of value. Over the years, I've just lied about a lot of things...I've sometimes found it a little difficult to know who I am. And when the media insisted on finding out, I just flat-out told a lot of different stories. When I did North Dallas Forty, I invented this history that I'd played college football. One year, I told some reporter that my first wife, who I had recently divorced, had been a high-wire performer in the circus. It ended up in a national magazine. She called me up and said, "Nick, why would you say a thing like that?"

"I was very reluctant at first to go where I had to go in Affliction. I had to admit to myself that I am the killer. I had to take responsibility for violence. And I like to think of myself as a nice person."

"I respect myself. There was a long period I didn't. You can't harm yourself that much and like yourself. Also, the world is a brutal place, it's not an easy, jolly ride to get through life. It's violent. People are power hungry, greedy, envious. This [impeachment] thing in Washington right now is just insane."

"I said, "The only way I'll do Breakfast of Champions is if I design my own dress." I look great from the front, in the back I have gaffer's tape [holding me and the dress together]."

"When I was younger, I always said, "Oh, yes, I want to direct." Now I realize I don't have the constitution, the right emotional structure for it. To be a director, there is a unique kind of individual. Their creativity has to be a long process that can go for two years. Actors are much more involved in the emotional moment."

"I tried to do, to tell the stories I'm close to.... Sometimes I'm an obvious whore and just do it for the money and those have been quite frankly horrible experiences and failures."

"It's hard to wind down. I used to drink it off. That just meant staying drunk until the next movie. Then I got over forty and couldn't do that anymore. So then I tried golf.
When I finished a film, I'd play golf eight hours a day, and then I twisted my back. I don't really know how to relax. I don't think actors do." from a 1988 interview

"I was pretty active politically in the sixties, sold some draft cards. They nailed me for counterfeit government documents. They gave me a 45 year sentence and a $75,000 fine (all) suspended. I was a felon. So I got into acting" (as a convicted felon, Nolte can not vote in the USA).

"Oh, the Wild Man. Yeah. I might have cultivated that for awhile. It doesn't necessarily make good press, but it gives them something to go by."

When he was offered the lead in the film "Superman" he replied "I'll do it if I can play him as a schizophenic".

"I am perfectly capable of enjoying a human being without sleeping with them. Of cource, I have slept with some leading ladies, but the necessity is pretty much out of my system now."

speaking of director Martin Scorcese "He's no manic at all. Unless I'm manic too, so I didn't know the difference."

"The public is not my consideration when I choose a role. You have to go with artistic instincts, not business ones and do what is right."

when asked about nudity in movies:
"How does it feel...well, I'm over 50 and gravity has had a tremendous effect and one of the basic things is, I've had Hollywood cosmetic surgery done on
my testicles and had a testicle tuck and that basically is to lift them up higher so you don't sit on them"

Interesting little facts about Nick Nolte:

A successful print and runway model in the late '60s, Nolte had his face on a Clairol box (Summer Blonde was the type) for several years.

When he's not in front of a camera, Nolte's favorite outfit is a cashmere coat worn over pajamas and basketball shoes. At the Cannes Film Festival this year, he often wore a designer coat and designer PJs.

Nolte's girlfriend is comedienne Vicki Lewis, who plays Beth on NewsRadio. They met while filming James Brooks' 1994 film I'll Do Anything.

Nolte, who has a long history of fibbing to the press, once told NBC's Bryant Gumbel that he had had a testicular tuck.

Nolte's son Brawley played the little kidnapped boy Sean Mullen in Ransom.
