I like to think of myself as a character actor, though there's some redundancy in that.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
One of the tough things about being an actor, probably the hardest thing, is getting your foot in the door, and my father handled that for me at a very early age.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
You know, ballet might be too formal of a title for the type of dance I do, but I love to dance.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
Like most kids, you don't want to do what your folks want you to do. You've got your own thing.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
I'm also working closely with a group called the Amazon Conservation Team, helping with the rainforest in South America.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
If you change partners every time it gets tough or you get a little dissatisfied, then I don't think you get the richness that's available in a long-term relationship.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
I'm very much into the costuming of any character that I portray and it's one of the great things about making movies is it's a collaborative art form so you get all these artists who are looking specifically about for this instance your character's costume and what that might tell about your character.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
I don't know how it is for women or for other guys, but when I was young and in my 20s, I had a fear of marriage.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
Whenever I work on a part, I look at the world through the filter of the character and I pick things they might use through my observations of real life.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
Sure, I get the blues. But what I try to do, is apply joy to the blues, you know? I don't know if it's a technique, or just being bent that way, being raised by the folks I was raised by.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
I'm very manipulative towards directors. My theory is that everyone on the set is directing the film, we're all receiving art messages from the universe on how we should do the film.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
As far as Beau is concerned, we're on the same team, we root for each other. If my parts are slightly more attractive, or are perceived that way by others, he's very content.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
The problem with the designated driver programme, it's not a desirable job. But if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At then end of the night drop them off at the wrong house.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
I love John Irving's stuff. It's that marriage of comedy and tragedy. It's really terrific.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
As filmmakers, we're constantly always looking for something to bring the audience deeper into the reality of the story we're telling.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
The toughest thing about making movies is being apart from your family. One of the things I try my best to do is call my wife every day to keep up to speed with what's going on in her life. And tell her what's going on with mine.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
Technology is such a broad kind of term, it really applies to so many things, from the electric light to running cars on oil. All of these different things can be called technology. I have kind of a love-hate relationship with it, as I expect most people do. With the computer, I spend so many hours sitting in front of a computer.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
My father was so in love with showbiz, all the different aspects - what we're doing here, making the movies, everything about it.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
When I'm working, I'm very purposeful and everything else gets out of focus. Something I've had to work on together with my wife is how to acknowledge each other in the midst of this and keep the relationship going.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
So many things have to come together to get a creatively successful and financially successful film. 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.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
One of the things that I find so exciting about life is that you're constantly surprised. You never know what's going to happen, and it's certainly like that making movies; every once in a while, one will come along that transcends all of your expectations.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
I consider myself pretty lazy, but I look back and check out the stuff I've done, and I say, 'God, that's a lot of stuff for a lazy guy.' It's a paradox, I suppose, being both things.
Quote by -Jeff Bridges
In life and in movies, it's a similar challenge, where you have expectations, and you end up in situations that are not meeting your expectations.
Quote by -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.
