John Lithgow
Anyone who hears enough laughter and applause at a young age will become an actor, whether they intend to or not.
John Lithgow
I don't hesitate to do nudity as an actor if it's done well.

It's nice when you've done enough movies that you can do your own anthology.

My father was a man of the theater. I grew up in a theater family. As a young man, as a boy, I gypsied around with my siblings and my parents to, like, eight different towns, went to eight different schools. All those things were extremely formative, and I think that's what happens.
John Lithgow

John Lithgow
There's nothing like spending an evening with an audience every night.

Everybody's a dreamer.
John Lithgow
Instead of being a theater actor who sometimes does movies I became a movie actor who sometimes does theater.
John Lithgow

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
My only regret is that we didn't have more kids. I came from a family of four kids, but my wife and I just started too late.
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
When you end a successful sitcom, the most sensible thing to do is go back to the theater.
John Lithgow
I certainly had my years as an out of work actor but I was married with a baby. My wife was supporting us.
John Lithgow
I'm very concerned for the future of the earth and its amazing creatures. We've got to be careful and make sure we don't foul our own nest
