“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.

Jeff Bridges
“Sometimes, you can not click with somebody, and it can feel awkward.”
Jeff Bridges
“The problem with the designated driver programme, it's not a desirable job. But if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At then end of the night drop them off at the wrong house.”
