“There's lots of good movies where you feel that the dialogue could be improvised, but very little was. The "Big Lebowski" was like that where people say "oh, you know, that sounds so..." and we'd always go back and get every man, every ellipses in there the way these guys write it. Because not only is it saying what Michael wants the character to say but the way they all speak kind of creates this tone because it's not exactly real.” PeopleKnowsMenWayWantFeelsWritingKindLittlesRealCharacterBigsGuySpeakSoundEvery ManDialogueToneGood Movie Author:Jeff Bridges
“Kevin Bacon and I recently worked on a move together, R.I.P.D.

On the one hand, it's not true of course, but on the other, everything does depend on this, on just this moment and our attitude toward this moment.” FeelsLooksDoeMomentsHandsTogetherRememberFacesMovingCoursesActorsAttitudeLaughingSeriousExpressionDependsSceneNormalAnxietyLook At MeKevinRemembers Everything Author:Jeff Bridges

“I've done quite a few movies, I generally can feel that I'm not right for the role or a general fear if I can pull it off, and him giving that "tag" so to speak gave me the confidence.

“Once, during an interview in front of my wife, I was asked, "Are you one of those actors who brings your character home? Do you stay in character?" I said, "No, not really. I don't do that," and she started laughing. I asked her why. She said, "Well, you might think you don't bring characters home, but you do."
