More quotes by 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
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 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
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.

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
Any character you play, you're on his side. You do have the third eye that looks at what an appalling creature he is, but you have to look at what's good about him.
John Lithgow
Take care, be kind, be considerate of other people and other species, and be loving.
John Lithgow

I don't hesitate to do nudity as an actor if it's done well.
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 consider myself a very lucky actor that, approaching 60, I'm still employed and employable.
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 have a lot of faith in people.
John Lithgow
Everybody's a dreamer.
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.

Shakespeare is like mother's milk to me.
