Famous quotes by John Lithgow:

"It's a big, nice, generous apartment,"

"At last, a soup as irresistible as me."

"example of just how wonderful words can be."

"The characters are not hesitant to use wonderful words like 'pathetic' and 'bracken' ? reeds along the river. He uses those words, knowing kids will ask 'What does that mean?' ... Dirty Rotten Scoundrels."

"while we've all heard of Einstein's big idea, very few of us know what it means."

"M Butterfly."

"Love the manatee and save the manatee."

"Everybody Loves Raymond."

"[The city has come a long way from its image in films like the 1983] Terms of Endearment, ... must be from New York."

"I lead a pretty boring life. I once met an editor from the National Enquirer who said to me, almost apologetically, 'I'm sorry, but we're really not interested in you.' I'm afraid that's true."

"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."

"I gave up shame a long time ago."

"I'm a fun father, but not a good father. The hard decisions always went to my wife."

"Up there with my awards, I have a great big statue of Groucho Marx, just to put everything in perspective."

"In animation, there's this exhilarating moment of discovery when you see the film and you say, Oh THAT'S what I was doing."

"Look at the darkest hit musicals - Cabaret, West Side Story, Carousel - they are exuberant experiences. They send you out of the theater filled with music."

"Take care, be kind, be considerate of other people and other species, and be loving."

"Academics tend to have wonderfully infantile senses of humor."

"Time sneaks up on you like a windshield on a bug."

"What you aspire to on a sitcom is the feeling of live comedy."
