"I've been too many places. I'm like the bad penny"

Jack Nicholson's quote is a reflection on his life and profession. He has actually been to lots of places, both physically and metaphorically, and he is like a bad cent because he keeps returning. He has actually experienced a great deal of various things and has actually seen many different locations, and he is still here. He is resistant and has been able to come back from whatever life has tossed at him. He is like a bad cent in that he is constantly around, no matter what. He has been through a lot and has seen a lot, and he is still here. He is a survivor and has actually been able to return from whatever life has tossed at him. He is a sign of durability and strength, and his quote is a suggestion that no matter what life tosses at us, we can constantly return.
