Jack Lemmon
Nobody deserves this much money - certainly not an actor.
Jack Lemmon
People are probably correct when they see me as the so-called Everyman. I'm attracted primarily to contemporary characters. I understand them and their frustrations.
Jack Lemmon
I have never lost a total passion for my work.
Jack Lemmon
Failure seldom stops you. What stops you is the fear of failure.
Jack Lemmon
how she moves. That's just like Jell-O on springs. She must have some sort of built-in motors. I tell you, it's a whole different sex! Joe: What are you afraid of? Nobody's asking you to have a baby.
Jack Lemmon
I had no desire to be in the movies. All my training had been in the theater, thank God.
Jack Lemmon
I have lost someone I loved as a brother, as a closest friend, and a remarkable human being. We have also lost one of the best damn actors we'll ever see.
Jack Lemmon
