More quotes by John Lithgow
If we are ever going to save this society and the world, there has got to be a way for us to work together. That may be more than we can ever hope to achieve, just because of human nature.
John Lithgow
Shakespeare is like mother's milk to me.
John Lithgow
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
I look for every opportunity to mix comedy and horror and tragedy. I love catching audiences off-guard.
John Lithgow
I'd sleep under a Vermeer.
John Lithgow
It's nice when you've done enough movies that you can do your own anthology.
John Lithgow
I was married very young. I lived a very middle class life. I was married at age 21, divorced at 31. I didn't sleep on people's couches.
John Lithgow
I went to Princeton High School, when I was very serious about being an artist. I was in a theatre family but I didn't want to become an actor.
John Lithgow
You have to overcome enormous self-consciousness, but nudity is about the strongest thing you can do in an acting performance. It's the most unsettling or the most comic or the most sexual.
John Lithgow
I'm a con artist in that I'm an actor. I make people believe something is real when they know perfectly well it isn't.
John Lithgow
When you end a successful sitcom, the most sensible thing to do is go back to the theater.
John Lithgow
Any character you play, you're on his side. You do have the third eye that looks at what an appalling creature he is, but you have to look at what's good about him.
John Lithgow
I learned the most about myself, and you ask what I learned? Well, I learned my strengths and my weaknesses, and it's far more important to learn about your weaknesses than your strengths.
John Lithgow
I don't hesitate to do nudity as an actor if it's done well.
John Lithgow
Take care, be kind, be considerate of other people and other species, and be loving.
John Lithgow
I always tell that to young people - go to college, do theater, work with an audience. Don't try to learn how to act in front of millions and millions of people. Don't make that your first ambition, to be on a sitcom or get into the movies. Learn who you are as an actor, and the best way to do that is to do it in front of an audience.
John Lithgow
If my life was a play, age 35 was my intermission.
John Lithgow
I can't imagine doing an hour-long dramatic series because it's so much work. A sitcom is a wonderful gig. You work from 10 to 4 every day, it's fun, and you get to live at home.
John Lithgow
That's how you deal with stardom you make it the least important part of your life.
John Lithgow
Anyone who hears enough laughter and applause at a young age will become an actor, whether they intend to or not.
