Myths are wonderful tools that we've had, oh, for eons now that help us navigate the situations we find ourselves in.

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.

I think my love of journalizing my life comes from my mom.
Jeff Bridges -
That's one of the things that's great about acting. You can play all the different aspects of a human being.
Jeff Bridges -
Imperfection and perfection go so hand in hand, and our dark and our light are so intertwined, that by trying to push the darkness or the so-called negative aspects of our life to the side... we are preventing ourselves from the fullness of life.
Jeff Bridges -
Yeah, I've been interested in music since I was a teenager, always writing songs.
Jeff Bridges -
My photography is mainly focused on my work making movies, which I've done my whole life. I think I have a perspective that not many people have. And I get to take advantage of all of the strange sources of light on a set.

I'm one of those guys that spins through the clicker when I'm watching TV. When one of my movies comes on, I'll watch a scene or two.

There are a lot of people getting killed by guns in our country for reasons, from my understanding, that are preventable. So many guns that are left loaded, unlocked. So you can educate. That doesn't seem to be too controversial - education.
Jeff Bridges -
My approach to working in movies is to empower the director to have power over me and to really support his vision because he's the guy, at the end of the day, who's going to put it all together.
Jeff Bridges -
It's easy to point out the evil in other people, but that can be found in all of us. That selfishness, that is something we all have in us. Sometimes you are successful at dealing with it, and sometimes you are not.

The first thing that pops into my mind when it comes to playing cowboys is my father, Lloyd Bridges. When I was a little kid, I loved to dress up like a cowboy - put on the boots, hat, and walk around. He was in a lot of westerns, and my dad loved to ride.
Jeff Bridges -
When I'm working, on sets or stages, my contracts specify in the rider that no plastic bottles be used. When I'm playing with my band, we all use metal and non-plastic containers for drinking to be ecologically sensitive and show others that this is the way to go.
Jeff Bridges -
Sometimes, you can not click with somebody, and it can feel awkward.

-
I've done several commercials and I've done voiceovers for documentaries.
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.
Jeff Bridges -
If you're like me, I get hooked into to-do lists, you know. I'll say I checked that off. Okay, I did that. And you have all these things you're doing.
Jeff Bridges -
I look at the camera as sort of a missing link between motion picture photography and still photography.
Jeff Bridges -
People fall in love for mysterious reasons.
Jeff Bridges -
I remember being on a black-and-white set all day and then going out into daylight and being amazed by the colour.

My mother and my father were very nurturing and wonderful examples of how to live your life.
Jeff Bridges -
I have hesitation making any kind of decision, really in my life. I'm really slow at it.
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 don't have too many plans filled out. I know I want to keep doing more music. I've got a couple of albums worth of songs I'd like to put it out there. As far as movies, I just want to continue how I've been doing it: working with terrific people is certainly on my agenda, and then doing stories that interest me.
