But the people I admire have always been people like Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson and Jack Lemmon.

Evan Jones

I'd like to do movies. The kind of comedies Jack Lemmon does.

Bob Crane

Believe it or not, Jack Lemmon was my inspiration. I saw him in 'Mr. Roberts' at the Stratford theater. I was just 21 or 22 at the time and I thought some day I would like to be an actor.

Bob Crane

Happiness is working with Jack Lemmon.

Billy Wilder

I remember one afternoon when we were out on a golf course somewhere, and Lauren Bacall, James Garner, and Jack Lemmon were sitting there in deck chairs when I went off to do another scene. And I said something like, "Hey, where have you guys been?" And they said, "Oh, we were down at the clubhouse. We saw your scene!" And Jack Lemmon looked at James Garner, and James Garner looked back at me, and then they both looked back at me and said in unison, "You bet your ass it is!" So I've been up there with the greats. I've had my fleeting moments with theatrical genius.

John Heard

All the good modern parts go to Jack Lemmon or Cary Grant.

Charlton Heston

Just watching Jack Lemmon made me want to get into this business.

Hank Azaria

Unless you're Jack Lemmon or Cary Grant, there are few guys who can do comedy and drama.

Steve Guttenberg

I'm a huge fan of Jack Lemmon, he was someone who managed to tread that line between comedy and tragedy and sometimes give very big performances, but they were never over-demonstrative and they were never not based on a kind of real truthful human being.
