The hoopla with all the award season is kind of mind-boggling. It kind of puts you on your heels.
From Jeff Bridges
One thing I want to do is create something called Ring Around Congress. It would be a state deal and also a national thing, where the kids, as a field trip, will go and join hands around Congress and give the politicians report cards on how they're voting on hunger issues.
Basically, one of the hardest things about being an actor is getting your first break. I'm a product of nepotism. The doors were open to me. I'd done several movies before I decided what I wanted to do.
My brother's my teacher, my mentor, and we both learnt all the acting basics from our father.
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.
It gives me more breadth as an actor and as an artist to not be pigeonholed.
Often, when I finish a film, I'll have that feeling inside me: 'I never want to do this ever again. I don't want to pretend anymore. I want to be myself and do that.'
My mother and my father were very nurturing and wonderful examples of how to live your life. I really had a cool foundation.
I really try hard not to work, not to engage, because I know what that means. What hard work it is; it takes me away from my family.
My father Lloyd Bridges was very versatile in his parts, but he had a hit in the '60s 'Sea Hunt,' where he played a skin diver. And he was so into that role that people actually thought he was a skin-diver.
