Like most of the movies I get involved with, I resisted as long as possible, I really try to figure out why I shouldn't do it and this one had plenty of reasons not to do it.

More quotes by Jeff Bridges
I love John Irving's stuff. It's that marriage of comedy and tragedy. It's really terrific.
Jeff Bridges
I love westerns, I'd love to make more of them.
Jeff Bridges
One of the greatest feelings in the world is knowing that we as individuals can make a difference. Ending hunger in America is a goal that is literally within our grasp.
Jeff Bridges
The Big Lebowski is a real masterpiece, as far as I'm concerned. I suppose I'm a bit biased because I'm in it.
Jeff Bridges
One of the things I want to do that's outside the realm of acting and the arts - although both have their place in this - is ending childhood hunger here in America.
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
The Oscar nomination is great. It's a great pat on the back. And I like that.
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 do my best to hold the director's opinion above my own.
Jeff Bridges
My wife holds the kite strings that let me go 'weeeeeee', then she reels me back in.
Jeff Bridges
I think we're all hooked, I feel my own hook-ness on immediate gratification you know. I want what I want.
Jeff Bridges
Directing takes a lot of time.
Jeff Bridges
I think there's a real joy in going to see movies when you discover them yourself.
Jeff Bridges
I'm at this time in life when I have to take the opportunities I have left.
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 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
I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.
Jeff Bridges
Sometimes you'll have a movie that you're very proud of and you think it transcended all of your expectations but it doesn't come out at the right time. I have done movies that have never been released. That can be depressing.
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
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. But in Iron Man it was kind of like both worlds colliding because there was a lot of improvisation, not that we improv-ed in the scenes but to discover the actual scenes themselves.
