Jack is my favorite character from Titanic, and my favorite character of all time. Why? Well, there are many reasons.
Jack is such an inspiration. He lost his parents at a young age, he had little to no money. However, he managed to always keep a smile on his face. An example of this, is when Jack says this to Ruth after she asked him if he likes his lifestyle:
"Well, yes, ma'am, I do... I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count. "
A part of that quote I especially love is, "I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs."
