More quotes by 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
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
I wish I were more disciplined.
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
If you're married you'll have tough times.
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
I first got involved with ending world hunger, and I got hip to the facts about it - what a huge problem it was and how it wasn't a matter of not having food or not knowing how to end it, but it was a matter of creating the political will.
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'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.
Jeff Bridges
I love John Irving's stuff. It's that marriage of comedy and tragedy. It's really terrific.
Jeff Bridges
I remember being on a black-and-white set all day and then going out into daylight and being amazed by the colour.
Jeff Bridges
You don't want to vilify your ego.
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
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
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
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
The Oscar nomination is great. It's a great pat on the back. And I like that.
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
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
Directing takes a lot of time.
