Jack Lemon

If you really do want to be an actor who can satisfy himself and his audience, you need to be vulnerable.

When I'm reading material, if I'm a little bit afraid of a part and I'm willing to admit that to myself, then I'll do it, definitely. If I'm worried about being able to do it, to get it - I absolutely just love it.

Death ends a life, not a relationship.

I have lost someone I loved as a brother, as a closest friend, and a remarkable human being. We have also lost one of the best damn actors we'll ever see.

I would rather play Hamlet with no rehearsal than TV golf.

I'd rather make the cut in the Crosby than win another Oscar.
