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.

More quotes by Jeff Bridges
Sometimes I think of movie acting as advanced pretend.
Jeff Bridges
Any role that big is going to be a challenge for any actor, but for an actor of a young age, it's going to be even tougher.
Jeff Bridges
You have that Frank Capra kind of side to it and the characters are really well drawn, so I think everybody tried their best to stay faithful to the script.
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
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.

The Oscar nomination is great. It's a great pat on the back. And I like that.
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.

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
You know, I thought we could use a good myth about technology to help guide us through these particular modern waters right now.
Jeff Bridges
I'm always busy, but I'm lazy as well.
Jeff Bridges
When I was really young, my mom enrolled me in dance classes. Mom, I'm too young to dance, I told her. She kind of forced me, but I ended up loving it, and after the first lesson I came back and said, Come on, Mom, I'll show you the box step. That introduced me not just to dancing but also to working with someone without having a goal.
Jeff Bridges
I love westerns, I'd love to make more of them.
Jeff Bridges
Life's picking up speed.
Jeff Bridges
If you're married you'll have tough times.
Jeff Bridges
Well, there are all kinds of gutters. Life will supply you with gutters.
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
I'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.
Jeff Bridges
I want to have all of my faculties.
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
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.
