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
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 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
Shakespeare is like mother's milk to me.
John Lithgow
I look for every opportunity to mix comedy and horror and tragedy. I love catching audiences off-guard.
John Lithgow
Instead of being a theater actor who sometimes does movies I became a movie actor who sometimes does theater.
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 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.

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
When you end a successful sitcom, the most sensible thing to do is go back to the theater.
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
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
Up there with my awards, I have a great big statue of Groucho Marx, just to put everything in perspective.
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.
John Lithgow
I have a lot of faith in people.
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
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
