More quotes by Jeff Bridges
Sometimes I think of movie acting as advanced pretend.
Jeff Bridges
My main teachers were my father and my mother and my brother.
Jeff Bridges
Pretend was a big part of my childhood.
Jeff Bridges
Words fall short sometimes.
Jeff Bridges
Normally, after a movie, you know, you don't want to get up and do another one right away. That kind of pretend muscle or whatever you use making movies is kind of, you know, spent. And you have other things to do.
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
I'm kind of an idea guy.
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
Execution is everything.
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
I think it would really be more like 10 films before I locked in and said, Yeah, I'm really gonna do this thing.
Jeff Bridges
You can relate to somebody's pain and you have compassion, which can lead to intimacy.
Jeff Bridges
As filmmakers, we're constantly always looking for something to bring the audience deeper into the reality of the story we're telling.
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
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
Often when I finish a film I'll have that feeling inside me: 'I never want to do this ever again. I don't want to pretend anymore. I want to be myself and do that.' And then, thank God, that feeling goes away after a month or so and I'm raring to go again.
Jeff Bridges
Every couple of years we'll watch the movie and it's like watching home movies, seeing the ranch on-screen. But that movie Heaven's Gate, people are appreciating it more and more as time goes on.
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
