Jeff Bridges
Basically, one of the hardest things about being an actor is getting your first break. I'm a product of nepotism. The doors were open to me. I'd done several movies before I decided what I wanted to do.
Jeff Bridges
I've worked with a lot of first-time directors who kind of look to me for ideas and opinions and stuff, and I'm a team player.
Jeff Bridges
I just hope that theaters remain. I think there's something very wonderful about getting into a dark room with a bunch of people. There's something cool about that. Brings us all together in one room where we can experience all those emotions.
Jeff Bridges
I did [Michael Cimino] first movie, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, and I remember I was still in my twenties and very nervous, we're shooting up in Montana, and I'm thinking, What the hell am I doing here? I don't feel anything like this part.
Jeff Bridges
