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.

More quotes by Jeff Bridges
Your part can be the king, but unless people are treating you like royalty, you ain't no king, man.
Jeff Bridges
Pretend was a big part of my childhood.
Jeff Bridges
Nowadays, in the contract that actors sign, you have to agree that you're going to do a certain amount of publicity-the hard part they don't pay you for.
Jeff Bridges
I have my prized possession in my wallet. That's a photograph of the first words I ever uttered to my wife, and her answer to my question when I asked her, Will you go out with me?
Jeff Bridges
I don't have too many plans filled out. I know I want to keep doing more music. I've got a couple of albums worth of songs I'd like to put it out there. As far as movies, I just want to continue how I've been doing it: working with terrific people is certainly on my agenda, and then doing stories that interest me.
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
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
As you become famous you lose some of your anonymity, which is wonderful for an actor to have because you can observe people and also people don't have such a strong sense of who you are and that sort of thing.
Jeff Bridges
I have a cycle that is not particularly cool, but it's a cycle: trash myself to reward myself.
Jeff Bridges
Normally, after a movie, you know, you don't want to get up and do another one right away. That kind of pretend muscle or whatever you use making movies is kind of, you know, spent. And you have other things to do.
Jeff Bridges
My wife holds the kite strings that let me go 'weeeeeee', then she reels me back in.
Jeff Bridges
My father Lloyd Bridges was very versatile in his parts, but he had a hit in the '60s 'Sea Hunt,' where he played a skin diver. And he was so into that role that people actually thought he was a skin-diver.
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
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
I'm constantly falling deeper in love with my wife.
Jeff Bridges
I'm kind of an idea guy.
Jeff Bridges
My m.o. as far as choosing projects is I really try not to work. I try to not do the scripts that are offered me. I'm in this wonderful position to be able to do that. The reason I do that is because I know what it takes once I engage, what that means for me personally and for my wife.
Jeff Bridges
Yeah, I loved Ray Bradbury.
Jeff Bridges
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!”
Jeff Bridges
