Jack Lemmon Said


Failure seldom stops you. What stops you is the fear of failure.
Jack Lemmon

I won't quit until I get run over by a truck, a producer or a critic.
Jack Lemmon

If you really do want to be an actor who can satisfy himself and his audience, you need to be vulnerable. You must reach the emotional and intellectual level of ability where you can go out stark naked, emotionally, in front of an audience.
Jack Lemmon

If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
Jack Lemmon

It's hard enough to write a good drama, it's much harder to write a good comedy, and it's hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is.
Jack Lemmon

Nobody deserves this much money - certainly not an actor.
Jack Lemmon

Stay humble. Always answer your phone - no matter who else is in the car.
Jack Lemmon
