Famous quotes 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.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
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
Do I have a long-term plan? Kind of. I have a general direction, I think. But it's funny what comes down the pike.Jeff Bridges
Eating ice cream and not exercising is great. The downside is your health isn't so good.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
I can see how a relationship with a writer would be an easy thing.Jeff Bridges

I have a cycle that is not particularly cool, but it's a cycle: trash myself to reward myself.Jeff Bridges

I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.Jeff Bridges
I'm used to watching old movies of myself.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.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.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.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.Jeff Bridges
It's funny. You succeed, but now where are you gonna go from there? I've got to keep proving that I can laugh or cry more real each time.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
Movies are like magic tricks.Jeff Bridges
Movies are very subjective.Jeff Bridges
My mom wasn't a movie star.Jeff Bridges
My wife, whenever I'd go off to work and I'd be kind of anxious, she'll say, 'Remember, have fun.' Oh, I forgot, thanks for the reminder. Because sometimes we do forget. We take it all too seriously and there's a lot of joy to be had wherever you are.Jeff Bridges
Normally, I love to go to the movies and when I see a character portrayed by different actors at different ages, it kind of pops a little bit for me. It brings me out of the movie experience. Now we have the technology to cure that.Jeff Bridges
Nowadays it seems more and more like the 'business' in 'show business' is underlined, and there are campaigns, and it's all part of getting people in to see the movies.Jeff Bridges

Sobriety and health is the greatest thing.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.
