Jeff Bridges's quotes

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.
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.
When you start to engage with your creative processes, it shakes up all your impulses, and they all kind of inform one another.
I kind of rebelled against it. I resisted it. I didn't know what I wanted to do when I was a kid and was reluctant to go into, y'know, Dad's line of business.
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!
I went from high school -- bang! -- into the movies. I did spend a few weeks in acting classes in New York when my father was there doing "Cactus Flower". But most of my training really came from my parents and my brother [Beau Bridges].
I'm glad I survived the '60s. They were dangerous. Fun, too. Everything in your life teaches you something.
I've been involved with two big flop Westerns [Heaven's Gate (1980) and Wild Bill (1995)]. I don't know if Americans still care about Westerns. I hope they do. There are some wonderful ones still to be made. - 2001.
Acting is tough some times. It can be a complicated case. A lot of ins, a lot of outs, a lot of what-have-yous, a lot of strands to keep in your head, man. But, you know, you manage.
Probably 150 less movies are going to be made next year (2010), and that's very concerning to all actors. It's hard enough finding a great script, but now it's going to be tougher. -- on how the economy is affecting the film industry.
[on what advice he'd give to himself as a young actor starting out] Have fun. Don't take it too seriously. Don't mistake this for reality. Be sincere, but don't get too serious. But that's a life direction too, it doesn't just apply to movies.
(On The Big Lebowski (1998) It's kind of a masterpiece, man. It's like The Godfather (1972) - I see it on the tube and I think I'm just going to watch a couple of scenes, but I end up watching the whole thing.
On Michelle Pfeiffer: I bet her a thousand dollars after that movie (The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989)) came out that she'd be offered a recording deal, and she still owes me.
I don't dig Trump or follow what he has to say, but I find it fascinating that he's surfaced in the political arena. I'm a Hillary supporter and I don't go the Trump way.
