Beau Bridges Said

And I like music, too, I like playing music.
Beau Bridges

And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time.
Beau Bridges

And when I've been away from my family and friends, I have felt good hearing some of those old songs.
Beau Bridges

As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I've been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.
Beau Bridges

But on the other hand I believe I'm a private person too, and I enjoy that aspect of my life as well.
Beau Bridges

Dylan, myself and my father were in a two hour movie called The Sand Kings, which started off the Outer Limits series. It was sort of the two hour pilot movie.
Beau Bridges

First of all my real full name is Lloyd Vernet Bridges III.
Beau Bridges

Fortunately I've been able to work in a lot of different mediums in my career, and they are all fulfilling in one way or another.
Beau Bridges

I also like to garden. I grow things, vegetables, flowers... I particularly like orchids. I raise orchids.
Beau Bridges

I find people respectful, and for me, the fun of doing what I do, is communicating with people, so I enjoy meeting people who have seen me perform.
Beau Bridges

I got five kids, and my oldest is a documentary film maker and camera man, and still photographer.
Beau Bridges

I like to try to make the characters I play be as human as possible.
Beau Bridges

I think, I would guess most people keep secrets.
Beau Bridges

I wouldn't say I'm overcome by fans when I go out. I can't imagine what it would be like to be a rock star, that would be pretty crazy.
Beau Bridges

I've always been interested in the history of the West, our country and particularly as it relates to the Native Americans - the original Americans.
Beau Bridges

My brother and I are always trying to figure out a way to work again together.
Beau Bridges

My father was my teacher. But most importantly he was a great dad.
Beau Bridges

My favorite Oscar story was a year my brother had been nominated, my whole family went.
Beau Bridges

My favorite roles usually have to do with the story, if it's a good story I usually enjoy doing the character.
Beau Bridges

My mom is many times responsible for getting us all together, but we trade off at each other's houses. My brother and I are actors and are traveling a lot of our job.
Beau Bridges

My son Dylan, he is just graduating from high school, getting ready to do the college thing. He has acted several times with me.
Beau Bridges

On the other side, if I'm playing a good guy, then he has some problems too. That's what makes people interesting, in life and in fiction.
Beau Bridges

Part of the western movement is this desire that we, Americans, have to keep pressing on.
Beau Bridges

Second, this epic tale allows the audience to actually listen to the Native Americans and receive their wisdom. Spielberg conveys the respect for Native Americans that is normally lacking in Western films.
Beau Bridges

So I'm playing a villain for instance, who is supposed to be the bad guy of the story, then I like to try and find things that are good about him.
Beau Bridges

Some of my oldest friends are actors. But that's not the only place my friends come from.
Beau Bridges

Steve and I saw eye to eye on the story and I got the part, but I think in the beginning it was due to my brother's instigation. So I owe him for that.
Beau Bridges

Sure, I have a lot of friends that are actors. Just because I guess I run into a lot of actors in my work.
Beau Bridges

The one we keep pitching and there are no takers is The Fabulous Baker Boys Go To Hawaii. There don't seem to be any takers on that one!
Beau Bridges

The things I enjoy most as I watch the movie are the things that came through without even thinking.
Beau Bridges

We all feel really blessed to have been with my dad for these 85 years.
Beau Bridges

Yeah, I'm very impressed with Lifetime, this is the first time I've worked with them. I really like the kind of programming that they're into, so I'm hoping that I will.
Beau Bridges

Yes, I took up the guitar when I was about 14 or 15, in high school.
