More quotes by Jeff Bridges
I've had really great experiences working with first-time directors. They come at filmmaking with fresh ideas. I've been very lucky that way.
Jeff Bridges
Basically, one of the hardest things about being an actor is getting your first break. I'm a product of nepotism. The doors were open to me. I'd done several movies before I decided what I wanted to do.
Jeff Bridges
My father Lloyd Bridges was very versatile in his parts, but he had a hit in the '60s 'Sea Hunt,' where he played a skin diver. And he was so into that role that people actually thought he was a skin-diver.
Jeff Bridges
I wish I were more disciplined.
Jeff Bridges
Life is having its way with me now. And I'm really pleased.
Jeff Bridges
You don't really have to do the things that your character is doing. But us actors, we use something called sense memory. I've certainly been drunk before, and part of my job is to recall that without getting drunk.
Jeff Bridges
I kind of quit surfing when I got out of high school, but then a few years ago I started to take it up again. I'm not an expert by any means, but it's so wonderful to get out in the ocean and get a different perspective on things.
Jeff Bridges
The Oscar nomination is great. It's a great pat on the back. And I like that.
Jeff Bridges
I look back at my filmography, and I'm pretty jazzed with the stuff I've been part of. They're all movies I'd like to see.
Jeff Bridges
Words fall short sometimes.
Jeff Bridges
It's funny. You succeed, but now where are you gonna go from there? I've got to keep proving that I can laugh or cry more real each time.
Jeff Bridges
Well, there are all kinds of gutters. Life will supply you with gutters.
Jeff Bridges
I remember when I was a kid, with the acting thing, I resented it because, you know, you don't want to do what your parents want you to do.
Jeff Bridges
Always maintain a joyful mind. Appreciate the struggles as opportunities to wake up.
Jeff Bridges
For me and my wife, it was love at first sight.
Jeff Bridges
Yeah, I loved Ray Bradbury.
Jeff Bridges
One of the greatest feelings in the world is knowing that we as individuals can make a difference. Ending hunger in America is a goal that is literally within our grasp.
Jeff Bridges
If you change partners every time it gets tough or you get a little dissatisfied, then I don't think you get the richness that's available in a long-term relationship.
Jeff Bridges
I confessed to Mike [Cimino] a couple of days before we shot. I was like, What am I doing here, Mike? And Mike just looked at me, in that very directorial manor, took a long pause, and he said, You know the game tag? And I said, Yeah. And he said, Well, you're it. That was some of the best direction I think I've ever received.
Jeff Bridges
One of the things I want to do that's outside the realm of acting and the arts - although both have their place in this - is ending childhood hunger here in America.
