More quotes by John Lithgow
It's nice when you've done enough movies that you can do your own anthology.
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
I certainly had my years as an out of work actor but I was married with a baby. My wife was supporting us.

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
Everybody's a dreamer.

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
Anyone who hears enough laughter and applause at a young age will become an actor, whether they intend to or not.
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
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
I look for every opportunity to mix comedy and horror and tragedy. I love catching audiences off-guard.
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
For me, working on stage is much more exhausting than all the other mediums, but it's also much more thrilling.
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
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 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 consider myself a very lucky actor that, approaching 60, I'm still employed and employable.

I'd sleep under a Vermeer.
