More quotes by John Lithgow
There's nothing like spending an evening with an audience every night.
John Lithgow
I consider myself a very lucky actor that, approaching 60, I'm still employed and employable.
John Lithgow
Everybody's a dreamer.
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
I have a lot of faith in people.
John Lithgow
I don't hesitate to do nudity as an actor if it's done well.
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
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
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
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
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 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
If my life was a play, age 35 was my intermission.
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'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
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'd sleep under a Vermeer.
John Lithgow
I'm a fun father, but not a good father. The hard decisions always went to my wife
