More quotes by 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
When I'm working, I'm very purposeful and everything else gets out of focus. Something I've had to work on together with my wife is how to acknowledge each other in the midst of this and keep the relationship going.
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
One of my favorite artists is Tom Waits, whom most people think of as a wonderful singer-songwriter and a great poet. I certainly think of him that way, but I also know him as a terrific actor. You know, that persona that he puts on when he's doing his music comes from being an actor, figuring out a persona.
Jeff Bridges
Yeah, I loved Ray Bradbury.
Jeff Bridges
I'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.
Jeff Bridges
Everybody loses a couple, and you either pack it up and go home or you keep on fighting.
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
I was loving music, and loving art, painting, so I was considering those things, but I must say I dug acting as well.
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
Your part can be the king, but unless people are treating you like royalty, you ain't no king, man.
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
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 used to be somebody. Now I’m somebody else.
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
My mother and my father were very nurturing and wonderful examples of how to live your life.
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 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
I do my best to hold the director's opinion above my own.
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.
