More quotes by Jeff Bridges
I did [Michael Cimino] first movie, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, and I remember I was still in my twenties and very nervous, we're shooting up in Montana, and I'm thinking, What the hell am I doing here? I don't feel anything like this part.
Jeff Bridges
I'm very manipulative towards directors. My theory is that everyone on the set is directing the film, we're all receiving art messages from the universe on how we should do the film.
Jeff Bridges
I loved working with my brother [Beau] and my father [Lloyd] whenever that happened. I had a wonderful experience making The Fabulous Baker Boys, which I felt was a great movie, too.
Jeff Bridges
I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.
Jeff Bridges
For me and my wife, it was love at first sight.
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
All of this high-tech stuff is supposed to set us free and make life easier. To me, it makes it more difficult and demanding.
Jeff Bridges
A lot of people don't really understand what rehearsal's about. People are afraid they're gonna leave it in the dressing room, or you're gonna shoot your wad in rehearsal.
Jeff Bridges
You know, ballet might be too formal of a title for the type of dance I do, but I love to dance.
Jeff Bridges
Working with my dad was such a gas. We approached the work in a similar way. We only made two films together when I was an adult, Tucker, and Blown Away, but it was so much fun to play with your parent like that.
Jeff Bridges
It gives me more breadth as an actor and as an artist to not be pigeonholed.
Jeff Bridges
I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see, and then....one day....I got in!
Jeff Bridges
I know how to dance with the wind, I can use its power by sailing this way, then that way, and again this way, till finally I get to you. With rowing, you're working primarily with your arms and shoulders. But with sailing, you're making bigger use of the wind and the waves.
Jeff Bridges
Your part can be the king, but unless people are treating you like royalty, you ain't no king, man.
Jeff Bridges
You just have to work with your discomfort. ... It’s challenging, but you have to dance the dance that the band’s playing. You can’t say: “I came here to Cha Cha and they’re playing a Waltz, godammit!”
Jeff Bridges
As you become famous you lose some of your anonymity, which is wonderful for an actor to have because you can observe people and also people don't have such a strong sense of who you are and that sort of thing.
Jeff Bridges
There's a bit of the kid in me.
Jeff Bridges
As a kid, you want to be liked for who you are. You don't want to be liked for who your parents are. You don't want to get a job because of who your parents are. You want to do it on your own, with your own gifts and your own value. So, I decided to spare my kids that and not be as pro-active as my dad was.
Jeff Bridges
Yeah, I loved Ray Bradbury.
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.
