I Need a Good Book I need a good story. I need a good book. The kind that explodes Off the shelf. I need some good writing, Alive and exciting, To contemplate all by myself. I need a good novel, I need a good read. I probably need Two or three. I need a good tale Of love and betrayal Or perhaps an adventure at sea. I need a good saga. I need a good yarn. A momentous and mightily Or slight one. But with thousands and thousands And thousands of books, I need someone to tell me The right one. -John Lithgow

If you read in front of your kids, it's very likely that they'll become readers, too

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

I gave up shame a long time ago.

I can't get used to the fact that I'm 68 years old. I still feel like a youngster. I am playing a part even older than 68 - 71 years old. It's kind of startling to see myself in a movie and realize, "Yup. That's exactly what I look like."

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

I consider myself a very lucky actor that, approaching 60, I'm still employed and employable.
