More quotes by Jeff Bridges
I think we're all hooked, I feel my own hook-ness on immediate gratification you know. I want what I want.
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
Normally, we push away the things we're scared of.
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
Execution is everything.
Jeff Bridges
Always maintain a joyful mind. Appreciate the struggles as opportunities to wake up.
Jeff Bridges
It used to kind of upset me when I'd be working on a part in my hotel room, and I'd get an idea for a song and find myself on the guitar for an hour when I should be working on my lines. But I've discovered that when I start to shake up my creativity it wants to be expressed in all kinds of different ways. They all kind of inform each other.
Jeff Bridges
You have that Frank Capra kind of side to it and the characters are really well drawn, so I think everybody tried their best to stay faithful to the script.
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'm kind of an idea guy.
Jeff Bridges
There's kind of a Zen aspect to bowling. The pins are either staying up or down before you even throw your arm back. It's kind of a mind-set. You want to be in this perfect mind-set before you released the ball.
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
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
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
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
I do my best to hold the director's opinion above my own.
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
As far as Beau is concerned, we're on the same team, we root for each other. If my parts are slightly more attractive, or are perceived that way by others, he's very content.
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
I'm at this time in life when I have to take the opportunities I have left.
Jeff Bridges
