More quotes by 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
My m.o. as far as choosing projects is I really try not to work. I try to not do the scripts that are offered me. I'm in this wonderful position to be able to do that. The reason I do that is because I know what it takes once I engage, what that means for me personally and for my wife.
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
Any role that big is going to be a challenge for any actor, but for an actor of a young age, it's going to be even tougher.
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
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
I think my love of journalizing my life comes from my mom.
Jeff Bridges
Basically, one of the hardest things about being an actor is getting your first break. I'm a product of nepotism. The doors were open to me. I'd done several movies before I decided what I wanted to do.
Jeff Bridges
Sometimes, you can not click with somebody, and it can feel awkward.
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 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
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
My main teachers were my father and my mother and my brother.
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
Play doesn't have to be a frivolous thing. You may think of a Beethoven symphony as something serious, but it's still being played. I think Oscar Wilde said that life is too important to be taken seriously.
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
I don't really care about having more fame than I have.
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
Directing takes a lot of time.
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.
