Jeff Bridges quotes

Whenever you're the child of a famous person, you get judged in odd ways because of that.

We're here for such a short period of time. Live like you're already dead, man. Have a good time. Do your best. Let it all come ripping right through you.

I come from a family of teasers myself. My grandfather was from Liverpool, and he had a dry sense of humor, and he would tease us terribly. My brother Beau was so skilled in his teasing that he could get a rise out of me by simply pointing at me.

I'm used to watching old movies of myself.

Well, I'm not a big sports fan.

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.

When I was really young, my mom enrolled me in dance classes.

My brother's my teacher, my mentor, and we both learnt all the acting basics from our father.

Sticking with a marriage. That's true grit, man.

The way to change the world is through individual responsibility and taking local action in your own community.

I love John Irving's stuff. It's that marriage of comedy and tragedy. It's really terrific.
