He [Michael Cimino] wasn't the typical filmmaker. I don't know if he had more in him, he certainly had a lot of scripts. I know he wrote a hell of a lot.
Jeff BridgesI think it would really be more like 10 films before I locked in and said, "Yeah, I'm really gonna do this thing."
Jeff BridgesI 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.
Jeff BridgesGenerally speaking I would say I enjoy the smaller films more because there's a less sense of pressure and often the material is more unusual.

Jeff BridgesI went through a very hairy period. I had a movie where I was going to play Walt Whitman that fell through. At the time, I had grown this huge beard and very long hair. But then, the movie got canceled, I had some other parts, and I currently have very short hair. So, when I look in the mirror, I don't know who I am exactly. It's interesting.
