Jack Nicholson graced the January cover of Men’s Journal. “The Bucket List” star talked about his fear of public speaking, lack of skills in love and relationships, and smoking pot!

Nicholson on his fear of public speaking: “You know, I’m phobically frightened of public speaking in a way that I find very unattractive. I get my household in a dither before such occasions. I call in everybody for their two cents. ”

Nicholson on being a big talker: “My newest motto is: Everything in addition to; nothing against. It applies more to sexuality. But, see, I don’t listen to myself; I just like to talk. I’m fairly bright, but I take everything I say with a grain of salt. ”

Nicholson on marriage: “Try to at least understand what in the name of conscience it is you’re doing in entering marriage, simple as that - something I obviously did not fulfill.”

Nicholson on getting older: “When I turned 70, it was the first time since 50 that I felt young for my age, literally.”

Nicholson on talking to his kids about pot: “I tried to hide the fact I smoke reefer from my youngest children. But I’ve been down to the schools, and engaged with the sensitivity groups, and realized there was no point in keeping it quiet as long as we had healthy discourse on the topic - the ups, the downs, the realities of it. And they knew it all anyway.”
