Jon Lovitz - biography

“I would love to have a part opposite a great actor - like, say, Pacino or De Niro or Hoffman.  And to work with a top director.  That’s my dream.”

“You, the actor, must be aware of when you’re being funny, but the character you’re playing should always be oblivious to the fact.”

“You’re in front of an audience, but you’re playing for a camera.  There’s this huge adrenaline rush, because you know that besides the audience in the studio, there are millions of people watching at home.”

“It’s fun to do something funny and have the director laughing.  It makes you feel good.”

“Woody is the guy who made me want to be a comic.  I was in heaven and couldn’t stop smiling because he was my idle and 29 years after seeing Take the Money and Run, I was working for him.”
