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
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.

I'm not locked into playing one guy.

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
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
I'm a pretty basic surfer.

I've never been motivated by the award thing. There's a certain thing that this fame thing does that makes my job harder, in a way. I'm still working with that. I don't think about it too much until somebody asks me a question, and then I think about it.

I'm in New Mexico making a movie called Granite Mountain. I'm playing the head of the organization called Statesman, which is the United States version of Kingsman. I'm like how Michael Caine was in the original.

I found that photography was a great way of relaxing on the set.
Jeff Bridges
My website's kind of fun for me. I get to do drawings on that. It's kind of fun.
Jeff Bridges
That movie, 'Airplane!,' what a landmark film it was. It's a great, great movie.
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'm always busy, but I'm lazy as well.
Jeff Bridges
When you start to engage with your creative processes, it shakes up all your impulses, and they all kind of inform one another.
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
Generally speaking I would say I enjoy the smaller films more because there's a less sense of pressure and often the material is more unusual.
Jeff Bridges
You prep, you prep, you prep. And on the day that you film, you let all of that go. I try to achieve emptiness as much as possible - the Zen thing - to let the deal come out of that nothing.
Jeff Bridges
I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see, and then....one day....I got in!
Jeff Bridges
Life's picking up speed.
Jeff Bridges
Technology is such a broad kind of term, it really applies to so many things, from the electric light to running cars on oil. All of these different things can be called technology. I have kind of a love-hate relationship with it, as I expect most people do. With the computer, I spend so many hours sitting in front of a computer.
Jeff Bridges
Always maintain a joyful mind. Appreciate the struggles as opportunities to wake up.
