My father Lloyd Bridges worked on a TV show called 'Sea Hunt.' He impressed upon me as a child the importance of taking care of the ocean and working together to do our part to reduce human pollution.

I'm always busy, but I'm lazy as well.
Execution is everything.
It's wrong to rob banks, yeah, but is it right for banks to loan people money, knowing full well they can't pay it back?
I gotta take notes when things occur to me.
I consider myself a lazy guy, but I do a bunch of stuff, and I'm so busy that in my downtime, I like to be with my wife, who I'm just madly in love with.
When I was really young, my mom enrolled me in dance classes.
It's interesting to explore the darker side, but the hero piece is interesting as well. It's like choosing between comedy or drama. I like to do both.
I first got involved with ending world hunger, and I got hip to the facts about it - what a huge problem it was and how it wasn't a matter of not having food or not knowing how to end it, but it was a matter of creating the political will.
I'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.
I've been interested in music since I was a teenager, always writing songs.
We're here for such a short period of time.
In my career, I really set out not to develop too strong a persona so that you wouldn't have a hard time imagining me in any given role. I wanted to pleasantly confuse the audience on who I was.
I don't think I ever went down that movie star path. I always enjoy taking a 90-degree turn from the last thing I did.
That's one of the cool things about fame. You have an affect on society and where it goes.
Work takes me away from my wife, Sue, and my life in Santa Barbara.
One of the things I want to do that's outside the realm of acting and the arts - although both have their place in this - is ending childhood hunger here in America.
I've had really great experiences working with first-time directors. They come at filmmaking with fresh ideas. I've been very lucky that way.
Yeah, I've been interested in music since I was a teenager, always writing songs.
My main teachers were my father and my mother and my brother.
I've done several commercials and I've done voiceovers for documentaries.
I don't have too many plans filled out. I know I want to keep doing more music. I've got a couple of albums worth of songs I'd like to put it out there. As far as movies, I just want to continue how I've been doing it: working with terrific people is certainly on my agenda, and then doing stories that interest me.
I've got a closet full of tuxes, and I appreciate that, because one thing I don't like to do is shop.
I'm drawn to the path of least resistance.
That movie, 'Airplane!,' what a landmark film it was. It's a great, great movie.
Often when I finish a film I'll have that feeling inside me: 'I never want to do this ever again. I don't want to pretend anymore. I want to be myself and do that.' And then, thank God, that feeling goes away after a month or so and I'm raring to go again.
It can kind of screw up things if you're trying to overwork something.
You can relate to somebody's pain and you have compassion, which can lead to intimacy.
Sobriety and health is the greatest thing.
It gives me more breadth as an actor and as an artist to not be pigeonholed.
Yeah, I'd been around horses most of my life.
I don't even know what Instagram is, All of this high-tech stuff is supposed to set us free and make life easier. To me, it makes it more difficult and demanding.
It's the same assignment on every part: you want to create a real world, and the tone of it is a little different on each movie. You have to find your tone and work within that to make it as real so the audience can really engage in the story you're telling.
In a marriage, every fight is the same fight, over and over again, in different forms.
If you're like me, I get hooked into to-do lists, you know. I'll say I checked that off. Okay, I did that. And you have all these things you're doing.
I like to know where the camera is.
Making movies is about creating illusions, and they can be subtle illusions, but it's all a cumulative effect as you make these little tweaks. It kinda adds up to something, hopefully.
I just hope that theaters remain. I think there's something very wonderful about getting into a dark room with a bunch of people. There's something cool about that. Brings us all together in one room where we can experience all those emotions.
This industry is tough on relationships. I've always thought that my wife should have a credit up alongside mine because I couldn't do what I do without her support.
Pretend was a big part of my childhood.
Loving movies myself, I know when I see a film with someone with a strong persona, it's hard to overlay another character on top of that.
I really try my best not to get attached to a script, because I know what it takes: It takes you away from your family and what you like to do.
I used to read comics when I was a kid.
That's one of the things that's great about acting. You can play all the different aspects of a human being.
I said I'm going to vote for Hillary. But my philosophy is that everything's workable. If Trump is president, I'll work with that guy. I don't know if he's terrible or what. He's refreshing in that he doesn't speak in that political way. I don't quite understand why everybody hates Hillary so much.
I just find my creativity manifesting a bunch of different ways.
I love westerns, I'd love to make more of them.
Sometimes I think of movie acting as advanced pretend.
I found that photography was a great way of relaxing on the set.
Ballet might be too formal of a title for the type of dance I do, but I love to dance. I love to draw and paint; I do ceramics and photography. I'm interested in a lot of creative stuff.
