Quotes

What I learned most from my father wasn't anything he said; it was just the way he behaved. He loved his work so much that, whenever he came on set, he brought that with him, and other people rose to it. Jeff Bridges
Jeff Bridges quote: "I love John Irving's stuff. It's that marriage of comedy and..."
I love John Irving's stuff. It's that marriage of comedy and tragedy. It's really terrific. Jeff Bridges
I had years of partying, and I was kind of surprised and happy I survived it all. Now, being a parent, I look back on it thinking, Oh God, the things you did! 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
For me, growing up, the downside of it was that as a kid you don't want to stand out. You don't want to have a famous father let alone get a job because of your famous father, you know? But I'm a product of nepotism. That's how I got my foot in the door, through my dad. Jeff Bridges
Most cynics are really crushed romantics: they've been hurt, they're sensitive, and their cynicism is a shell that's protecting this tiny, dear part in them that's still alive. Jeff Bridges
Working with my dad was such a gas. We approached the work in a similar way. We only made two films together when I was an adult, Tucker, and Blown Away, but it was so much fun to play with your parent like that. Jeff Bridges
As far as the lack of hits goes, I think perhaps it's because I've played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting. Jeff Bridges
Jeff Bridges quote: "I had a great '70s. I survived it, and that's always good news."
I had a great '70s. I survived it, and that's always good news. Jeff Bridges
Making films is sort of like you're pulling off a magic trick. It's sort of like an illusion. It's not real but you want it to appear real, and all kinds of things go into that, from the clothes you're wearing to the make-up, to the light. Jeff Bridges
A large part of acting is just pretending. You get to work with these other great make-believers, all making believe as hard as they can. 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
Jeff Bridges quote: "I don't think I ever went down that movie star path. I always..."
I don't think I ever went down that movie star path. I always enjoy taking a 90-degree turn from the last thing I did. Jeff Bridges
I've had really great experiences working with first-time directors. They come at filmmaking with fresh ideas. I've been very lucky that way. Jeff Bridges
What are the aspects of yourself that line up with the character? You magnify those, and the ones that don't match up you kind of kick to the curb. Jeff Bridges
