I don't hesitate to do nudity as an actor if it's done well.

I can't get used to the fact that I'm 68 years old. I still feel like a youngster. I am playing a part even older than 68 - 71 years old. It's kind of startling to see myself in a movie and realize, Yup. That's exactly what I look like.
John Lithgow
If my life was a play, age 35 was my intermission.

I got a wonderful college education. I went to Harvard. In those four years I accumulated a lot of knowledge but I also created a kind of habit of learning that has stayed with me my whole life.
John Lithgow
