More quotes by Jeff Bridges
I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see, and then....one day....I got in!
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've done several commercials and I've done voiceovers for documentaries.
Jeff Bridges
Everybody loses a couple, and you either pack it up and go home or you keep on fighting.

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.

Life's picking up speed.

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 you start to engage with your creative processes, it shakes up all your impulses, and they all kind of inform one another.
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
A fool and his money are quickly parted.
Jeff Bridges
Sometimes, you can not click with somebody, and it can feel awkward.
Jeff Bridges
I'm a chairperson for 'No Kid Hungry', a campaign for poor American children.
Jeff Bridges
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.
Jeff Bridges
A lot of people don't really understand what rehearsal's about. People are afraid they're gonna leave it in the dressing room, or you're gonna shoot your wad in rehearsal.
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
Yeah, I loved Ray Bradbury.

Life is having its way with me now. And I'm really pleased.
