More quotes by John Lithgow
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.

Anyone who hears enough laughter and applause at a young age will become an actor, whether they intend to or not.

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.

I find I have to walk a little faster in public these days, but it's very easy to remember when nobody had any idea who I was.
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
It's nice when you've done enough movies that you can do your own anthology.
John Lithgow
