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
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 have a lot of faith in people.
John Lithgow
I consider myself a very lucky actor that, approaching 60, I'm still employed and employable.

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
Take care, be kind, be considerate of other people and other species, and be loving.
John Lithgow
For me, working on stage is much more exhausting than all the other mediums, but it's also much more thrilling.
John Lithgow

Instead of being a theater actor who sometimes does movies I became a movie actor who sometimes does theater.
John Lithgow
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
Up there with my awards, I have a great big statue of Groucho Marx, just to put everything in perspective.
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
It's nice when you've done enough movies that you can do your own anthology.
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.
