I love how Jeff NEVER gets tired of talking about the Big Lebowski. He’s asked about it in every single interview and he never has anything but good things to say about the writers, the cast, the experience. He’s the real deal.

How I so much want to see a western featuring Jeff Bridges and Kurt Russell playing brothers.

I am honestly blown away by his memory! Incredible to be acting so long and still have this recall

I have his book, it's called "pictures" he signed it for me in Marina Del Rey in 2004 at a fundraiser for a paralyzed art director. Jeff drove a vintage golden Ferrari that I admired greatly.

Considering how long he’s been making movies it’s astonishing how much he remembers!

I smile every time he opens his mouth to talk.

For someone who's so prophetically chill, he sure remembers a lot of details from all of his movies.

I was blessed to work with Llyod on a pilot and two films with Jeff. They both brought joy and comfort to the set as Jeff describes at the end.

first off, what a memory. second off, what a likable dude. i have been a fan of jeff since seeing the big lebowski when i was 16. comes from one of the most well known acting families but you’d never know it. no pretension to be found in the man & he’s as nice as they come.
