I don't hesitate to do nudity as an actor if it's done well.
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.

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

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
Instead of being a theater actor who sometimes does movies I became a movie actor who sometimes does theater.

If my life was a play, age 35 was my intermission.

When you end a successful sitcom, the most sensible thing to do is go back to the theater.
