You just have to work with your discomfort. ... It’s challenging, but you have to dance the dance that the band’s playing. You can’t say: “I came here to Cha Cha and they’re playing a Waltz, godammit!”

More quotes by 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
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 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
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
I had years of partying, and I was kind of surprised and happy I survived it all. Now, being a parent, I look back on it thinking, Oh God, the things you did!
Jeff Bridges
Working with my dad was such a gas. We approached the work in a similar way. We only made two films together when I was an adult, Tucker, and Blown Away, but it was so much fun to play with your parent like that.
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
I'm not locked into playing one guy.
Jeff Bridges
If you're married you'll have tough times.
Jeff Bridges
You can relate to somebody's pain and you have compassion, which can lead to intimacy.
Jeff Bridges
35 million people in the U.S. are hungry or don't know where their next meal is coming from, and 13 million of them are children. If another country were doing this to our children, we'd be at war.
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
I think my love of journalizing my life comes from my mom.
Jeff Bridges
I look back at my filmography, and I'm pretty jazzed with the stuff I've been part of. They're all movies I'd like to see.
Jeff Bridges
Myths are wonderful - they really tell the stories that connect all of us and teach us so much.
Jeff Bridges
I do my best to hold the director's opinion above my own.
Jeff Bridges
Your part can be the king, but unless people are treating you like royalty, you ain't no king, man.
Jeff Bridges
I'm always busy, but I'm lazy as well.
Jeff Bridges
I'm not real good at romance.
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
