Creative Quotations from Jack Lemmon ( ) born on Feb 8 US actor ; won Oscars for Mister Roberts, 1955 & Save the Tiger, 1971.

To be an actor… you need to be vulnerable… where you can go out stark naked, emotionally, in front of an audience.

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

It can be a simple sentence that makes one single point, and you build for that.

You zero in on one moment that gets that character, you go for it, that's it, man, and if you fail the whole thing is down the drain, but if you make it you hit the moon.

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