More quotes by John Lithgow
There's nothing like spending an evening with an audience every night.
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
That's how you deal with stardom you make it the least important part of your life.
John Lithgow
I think there are all sorts of ways of turning into an actor, and there are a vast variety of different actors. You know, you interview plenty of actors and you know they come at it from a different direction and acting means different things to a lot of people.
John Lithgow
I don't hesitate to do nudity as an actor if it's done well.
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
Anyone who hears enough laughter and applause at a young age will become an actor, whether they intend to or not.
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
Up there with my awards, I have a great big statue of Groucho Marx, just to put everything in perspective.
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
For me, working on stage is much more exhausting than all the other mediums, but it's also much more thrilling.
John Lithgow
I have a lot of faith in people.
John Lithgow
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
Everybody's a dreamer.
John Lithgow
I consider myself a very lucky actor that, approaching 60, I'm still employed and employable.
John Lithgow
Shakespeare is like mother's milk to me.
John Lithgow
It's very interesting, I had an extremely intense experience with my dad in 2002, when he was an old man and very ill and I was taking care of him and my mother, and he was extremely depressed, virtually lost the will to live, and I realized my main job was cheering him up to save his life.
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.
