Jack Lemmon

Jack Lemmon is one of the best-liked Academy Award winning American actor + I love his movies + (via wikipedia) his personal quotes: the ones I like -- Death ends a life, not a relationship; I won't quit until I get run over by a truck, a producer or a critic; Failure seldom stops you. What stops you is the fear of failure; If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball; 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; Nobody deserves this much money - certainly not an actor; Stay humble. Always answer your phone - no matter who else is in the car.
