"The Oscar nomination is great. It’s a great pat on the back. And I like that." ― Jeff Bridges Topic(s): Great Tags: great, nomination, oscar More From Jeff Bridges "I have a cycle that is not particularly cool, but it’s a cycle: trash myself to reward myself." "Every time I walk down one of those red carpets, you think I’d be used to it after all these years, but it’s like it’s happening for the first time." "As far as the lack of hits goes, I think perhaps it’s because I’ve played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting."

They drive Fords and Chevys. And so even if you have the opportunity to buy a more expensive car, it doesn’t occur to you because it’s not what you relate to."― Luke Perry "I was an elementary school teacher."― Luciano Pavarotti
