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.

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.

I look at the camera as sort of a missing link between motion picture photography and still photography.

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.

You know, I thought we could use a good myth about technology to help guide us through these particular modern waters right now.

You always hear people say that having kids changes everything, but you can't fully realize it until you have children yourself.

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.

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.

It's wrong to rob banks, yeah, but is it right for banks to loan people money, knowing full well they can't pay it back?

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.

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.

I love to paint, do ceramics, photography. I got a lot of side things that I like to do.

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.

For me and my wife, it was love at first sight.

Sometimes, you can not click with somebody, and it can feel awkward.
Jeff Bridges
-
I think we're all hooked, I feel my own hook-ness on immediate gratification you know. I want what I want.

As far as 3-D goes, I don't know if that will stay very long because things are moving so rapidly.

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.

My mother and my father were very nurturing and wonderful examples of how to live your life.

I consider myself a lazy guy, but I do a bunch of stuff, and I'm so busy that in my downtime, I like to be with my wife, who I'm just madly in love with.

Mania is a wonderful feeling.
Jeff Bridges

I think it's an impulse for human beings to want to suffer less, and we're kind of addicted to comfort at all costs - at least, I am.
Jeff Bridges
-
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.
Jeff Bridges

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