Jeff Bridges

"For me, growing up, the downside of it was that as a kid you don't want to stand out. You don't want to have a famous father let alone get a job because of your famous father, you know? But I'm a product of nepotism. That's how I got my foot in the door, through my dad."

"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."

"I love John Irving's stuff. It's that marriage of comedy and tragedy. It's really terrific."

"In a marriage, every fight is the same fight, over and over again, in different forms."

"Most cynics are really crushed romantics: they've been hurt, they're sensitive, and their cynicism is a shell that's protecting this tiny, dear part in them that's still alive."

"Movies are like magic tricks."

"Sticking with a marriage. That's true grit, man."

"The more space and emptiness you can create in yourself, then you can let the rest of the world come in and fill you up."

"Well, I'm not a big sports fan."

"Whenever you're the child of a famous person, you get judged in odd ways because of that."
