More quotes by Jeff Bridges
You know, I thought we could use a good myth about technology to help guide us through these particular modern waters right now.
Jeff Bridges
I'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.
Jeff Bridges
I'm pretty critical of myself as far as reaching some sort of perfect bull's-eye or target that I'm aiming for.
Jeff Bridges
My mother and my father were very nurturing and wonderful examples of how to live your life.
Jeff Bridges
A fool and his money are quickly parted.
Jeff Bridges
I consider myself pretty lazy, but I look back and check out the stuff I've done, and I say, 'God, that's a lot of stuff for a lazy guy.' It's a paradox, I suppose, being both things.
Jeff Bridges
Technology is such a broad kind of term, it really applies to so many things, from the electric light to running cars on oil. All of these different things can be called technology. I have kind of a love-hate relationship with it, as I expect most people do. With the computer, I spend so many hours sitting in front of a computer.
Jeff Bridges
Generally speaking I would say I enjoy the smaller films more because there's a less sense of pressure and often the material is more unusual.
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
When you start to engage with your creative processes, it shakes up all your impulses, and they all kind of inform one another.
Jeff Bridges
When I was really young, my mom enrolled me in dance classes. Mom, I'm too young to dance, I told her. She kind of forced me, but I ended up loving it, and after the first lesson I came back and said, Come on, Mom, I'll show you the box step. That introduced me not just to dancing but also to working with someone without having a goal.
Jeff Bridges
I wish I were more disciplined.
Jeff Bridges
You liked the freshness of it, c'mon try it and I said oh God, I read it three of four times and finally I said all right, I want you guys to organize a reading and I want you to be there to see how terrible this is not going to work at all, so we had a table like this, and read the script, and it was just great.
Jeff Bridges
Directing takes a lot of time.
Jeff Bridges
The problem with the designated driver programme, it's not a desirable job. But if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At then end of the night drop them off at the wrong house.
Jeff Bridges
Normally, I love to go to the movies and when I see a character portrayed by different actors at different ages, it kind of pops a little bit for me. It brings me out of the movie experience. Now we have the technology to cure that.
Jeff Bridges
I understand professionals have to work when they don't feel like it, and I certainly don't feel like it. So maybe this will put the nail in the coffin for my acting career.
Jeff Bridges
So I have this word for much of what I do in life: 'plorking.' I'm not playing and I'm not working, I'm plorking.
Jeff Bridges
If you're like me, I get hooked into to-do lists, you know. I'll say I checked that off. Okay, I did that. And you have all these things you're doing.
Jeff Bridges
My main teachers were my father and my mother and my brother.
