My father, he really encouraged me to really get into acting. He loved it so much, and he taught all the basics.

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.

Women are so - maybe this is just a male perspective, but for my money, they're so connected to life in a way that men aren't. They're able to give birth, have children, and it's literally a part of them. They perhaps have a stronger capacity for caring than males.

Unlike Texas Rangers, we actors don't have a stop date, so I don't know about retiring. Sometimes I want to stop acting, but then you get a good script!

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.

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.

I don't really consider myself one of those actors who takes his work home with him.

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.

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

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.

The Oscar nomination is great. It's a great pat on the back. And I like that.

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'm light and airy.

Well, when we made 'Tron' there was no internet, no cellphones.

Your part can be the king, but unless people are treating you like royalty, you ain't no king, man.

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.

I am a product of nepotism. I don't think I would have had the profession that I'm in currently... if it wasn't for my dad.

As far as Beau is concerned, we're on the same team, we root for each other. If my parts are slightly more attractive, or are perceived that way by others, he's very content.
Jeff Bridges

I don't really think in career terms.
Jeff Bridges
-
I've produced a couple of films and really enjoyed starting it from the very beginning and seeing it all the way through to the end; that was very gratifying.

I've worked with a lot of kids, and when you're working with kids they have certain hours that they have to work.

I've got a closet full of tuxes, and I appreciate that, because one thing I don't like to do is shop.
