I think I heard about 'The Giver' being made from when I was 11 or 12 years old. When I got the audition for this movie, I already knew that Meryl Streep was attached to it, and Jeff Bridges, obviously.
Who isn't a fan of Jeff Bridges? And he is such a unique character. I can't think of anybody who's quite like him. He was a lot of fun to be around, just personally.
I love watching Jeff Bridges act. He's brilliant.
I got the idea for the song 'Bad Company' when I saw a poster for the Jeff Bridges movie, and it reminded of an old Victorian picture that I'd once seen, and it said, 'Beware of bad company.' So I sat down at the piano and started to write the song.
'The Big Lebowski''s soundtrack has had as much of an influence on me as the film itself. My favorite Bob Dylan song is 'The Man in Me,' which plays over the movie's opening credits as well as during the first dream sequence.
Jeff Bridges is one of my favorite actors in the history of ever.
'The Big Lebowski' was something we wrote for Jeff Bridges, and we set it aside for a couple of years because he wasn't available.
I am a little in awe of Jeff Bridges. He's an actor I have admired for many years, and so I didn't know who I was going to get, in the sense that I didn't know what he was going to be like. And so I was pleasantly surprised that he is this kind of laid-back guy.
I was surprised by how much of it I was in [Tron: Legacy]. I thought the character was just going to register as a smaller figure because most of what I did was with a body double, and then I would do the stand-in with Jeff [Bridges] and he would be just wearing his regular clothes.
I always liked 'The Last American Hero,' the one about Junior Johnson with Jeff Bridges in it.
I've always admired Jeff Bridges. I really like how one can never get a handle on what he's doing.
Jeff Bridges wants you to take it easy, man.
I like 'The Big Lebowski'. The Dude is my man. My brother and I can quote that.
I just had such a lucky experience working with incredible actors, getting to see their work ethics, their different techniques... Jeff Bridges is such a legend! Getting to watch him and see how he worked was a blessing.
I'm interested in Jeff Bridges. I love that guy. And I did like Carey Mulligan in 'An Education.' And I love Meryl Streep, but if they could ban 'Julie & Julia,' I'd be in favor of that.
Jeff Bridges taught me a lot about how to keep a scene fresh.
'Starman' was one of my favorite movies growing up.
Of the two 'True Grits,' the John Wayne version one is better.
I love Jeff Bridges. You can never go wrong with that guy. I hope to work with him one day.
It's never going to get better than working opposite an actor like Jeff Bridges. That's as good as it gets. I don't even know what to refer to him as. He's just a great guy. He's iconic on his own merits.
'The Big Lebowski' gave me my first false sense of intellectual superiority.
The everybody-loves-Jeff Bridges home base is, of course, 'The Big Lebowski.'
I love 'Tron.'
