Sometimes I think of movie acting as advanced pretend.
Jeff Bridges

Play doesn't have to be a frivolous thing. You may think of a Beethoven symphony as something serious, but it's still being played. I think Oscar Wilde said that life is too important to be taken seriously.
Jeff Bridges
Image
You don't want to do what your parents want you to do. You got your own things. And the whole idea of getting a job because of who your father is - that didn't isn't right.
Jeff Bridges

Well, when we made 'Tron' there was no internet, no cellphones.
Jeff Bridges

I love John Irving's stuff. It's that marriage of comedy and tragedy. It's really terrific.

All of this high-tech stuff is supposed to set us free and make life easier. To me, it makes it more difficult and demanding.
