More quotes by 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
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
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
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 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 certainly had my years as an out of work actor but I was married with a baby. My wife was supporting us.
John Lithgow
It's nice when you've done enough movies that you can do your own anthology.
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.
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
I'd sleep under a Vermeer.
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 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'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'm a fun father, but not a good father. The hard decisions always went to my wife
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
Anyone who hears enough laughter and applause at a young age will become an actor, whether they intend to or not.
John Lithgow
If my life was a play, age 35 was my intermission.
John Lithgow
Instead of being a theater actor who sometimes does movies I became a movie actor who sometimes does theater.
John Lithgow
Shakespeare is like mother's milk to me.
