Jack Nicholson on How to Write Books About How Women Think and Feel

Gary North

In As Good As It Gets, Nicholson plays an eccentric man who writes best-selling novels about women for women. (Men think: "Yes, he would have to be eccentric.")

His character hates everyone. Nicholson is gifted at playing such people.

He visits his publisher. On the way out, he is stopped by a receptionist. She asks him a crucial question. His reply is the funniest scene in the movie . . . for men. (Yes, the movie is a chick flick.)
