Well, certainly, yes. But I also, look, I'm allowed to change my opinion. I can next week say it's Lawrence of Arabia, or a week after that I can say Sullivan's Travels. I mean, that's the wonderful thing about movies, and particularly great movies, is when you see them again, it's like seeing them for the first time. And you pick up things that you didn't see the last time.

Nicholson's always been such an incredible actor because... He has absolutely no shame about being demonstrative and over the top. And he also has no problem playing characters who are deeply flawed. And he's interested in that. I have a pretty good Nicholson story, though. Nobody knows. You also have a pretty good Nicholson impression, but what's the story?

The story was told to me by a sound man. Dennis Maitland, who's a great, great, great guy. He said he was very excited because he got on Pritzy's Honor, which was Jack Nicholson, Angelica Houston, directed by John Houston. He said, I was so excited. It was my first day on the movie, and I get told to go into Mr. Nicholson's trailer and mic him up for the first scene.
