a wonderful fellow he's he's so he's so wonderful to work with a great actor and also he's a musician so we got to you know if you play well yeah yeah we play or listen to a little bit of music and yeah i said closing song my old buddy t.-bone and i wrote that tune in for the for the movies and it again it better man better man enjoy singing yes we were o's as you know we would list and we talking to the person i was at that did you always saying yes since i was a kid you know because i knew your dad and he never said your song oh no well he sung i mean you know my dad he replaced the richard kiley on broadway and mandolin montra lloyd. here yet right was the first one after richard kiley he did that song yeah by our go yeah oh yeah the dream made it all that great score but i'm going on tour here in a couple of days with my band the abiders and my daughter jesse is opening for me

while so that's going to be a lot of fun do you ever just want to be a singer where you know when i was growing up. play music like that i thought that might be something i want to do but my dad. he loved showbiz so much and acting and he wanted all his kids to go in that and it was you know you see a little eighteen you know eight year old kid and see how that's that's made you know he encourages all that so i met if not into it should in florida and they shot solos overspray know your father well he was a great oh wasn't he a great interest as also a great tomic that oh very good oh very good oh you must say that charge i remember we were just came back from boston we made a movie there together called blown away and he played my uncle in that and when we were casting the part i went up to the. the director in the producers that i know

a guy wonderful actor who looks a bit like me might be a good guy to play my uncle i said. lloyd bridges hadn't heard of him and he said oh your dad is great but he's really more of a comedian and more of a comedian i said what are you talking about maybe this is what it was all the airplane movies are so you got to be careful you can develop as strong persona you know and but that was a different career thing oh yeah we made him all welfare and see what you know from see what everybody thought it was a skin diver here they carried in our in in the new ones is that a lot based on the character you did it to good leather from the same period yeah and you know you talk about the baggage and with each each row and there's a bit of a rooster cogburn baggage for that but i kind of let that be that's ok i figure the best you know both from the same times and. it's fun to play cowboys oh you play

someone that out you would develop that role in or if you think about him when you think about when you hit with a guy that's outlandish yeah well you mentioned my father being a comedian and he's my father quite a bit you know he do his you his you maria and a lot of that is. kind of a combination of things you know you got your make up usually how you look you know i have you know have a long kind of the stash beard long hair and then of course the clothing and all of that so every as you get dressed in the morning it is i mean about that where you even have to think about it just starts to you know you start to just become the guy it's a kind of crazy feeling anthony quinn told me once that it doesn't matter whether it's a b. movie a movie a low key movie while weston you give it all your best all the time oh yeah as you know never more for the more fun that way it is this is side action movie that far i'm going to be this you know i don't like to do that and i give it

your you're shot each time you know makes it more fun more enjoyable you know how do you pick a role what's the determining factor that kind of a mixture of things you know. i'll be right number one is that the kind of movie that i'd like to see end of movies going to movies and i like those movies where. you know the filmmakers surprise you you know you're thinking this can go one way and it goes another way and i like that and then off you know the people you work with we were in a movie together we were in the same scene the contender oh rosario that was a good one bar that goes al and i don't i got to interview her or she saw a group or you're a great president i love to have character head. and. you look at the anchors on that girl. that's what you're into ankles that's what does it for you today women they dress very conservatively that makes you way less creepy. when exactly was your day. one thousand nine hundred body

a mobile used to call the law. marshall was pulled over right she said go to barry scheck in name at the time got rice receive it right just call me royal we're back with jeff bridges who's stars in our ip day opening friday he also coauthored a book it's him and bernie glassman called the dude in the zen master what is that so i'm glancing through it looks it's just a conversation here he has basically a conversation bernie glassman who is the zen master who is in the past he's a wonderful wonderful guy. he came to me once and he said. we've been friends for several years he said you know in the buddhist circles. your character in the big about how ski the dude is considered zen master i said what are you talking about he goes oh yes as you know the the movie is filled with you

know koans you know these humans and questions that you have to keep the experience you know to really answer them properly and i said i don't know you talk about he says sure is look the coen brothers man. come on the me. so he says hey let's write a book about that i want to bring some of these you know zen ideas into modern day and so yes ok sure so we went up to my place in montana and we put down this book how do you know bernie glassman noted that a dinner party. i set the tween rum dostana who roamed us as you know be here now and bernie and you know we let's was struck up and that's and we just became we kind of hit it off right there had a great time definition what is what is in very good i. mean what is and i do not know all of. it maybe that's it you know not knowing you know to be open

to or heard of my dear friend jackie gleason in the book right yeah oh yeah and our and our current well art carney is they see a bike and make this kind of a truncate the story a little bit when i'm doing the bow ski. and by the way the dude who you know loves bowling you never see his bowl in the movie shrek but we originally were supposed to do some bowling we had a bowling master competes. and i was wondering how how the dude my prepared to bowl you know you remember art carney when he would prepare you know he would pick up that water and he would you know he would you know prepare him self for there's a boy he addressed the you know it would to sign something you know in jackie gleason. in the parable you know. i told the guy this and he says and he hadn't assisted with and he started to laugh hysterically and i said what's going on he goes no no i get to you guys tell me what's going on anything and the bowling

master finally said well you know bowling is a lot like zen in the art of archery you know before you even throw the ball the pins are down it's how your mind is set you know with the cocking of the head which is very much like. norton you know you know what that what so i said yes so what happened he says well i get up there and i would. you know. you know i think this isn't a big tournaments you know until all the guys on the bed would say. and i said well what happened how did you know what that meant that his it would literally pick me sometimes five or six minutes before i could throw the ball and it was really a problem i went to a schrank and you know work it out you know fine as is so what do you do now i says i just throw the ball you know loving hetty oh you know oh but i did enter jimmy and. was a great man you know all of you loved him oh man i used to watch him all of the

time and i bet you have some great stories as though a zero million stories about you know a lot of that was improvisation and he would he never you'd appreciate this he never rehearsed a scene but he had a guy built like him who did all the rehearsals and he would watch that he would watch the tape of it and so he would do all the movements so when you do the honeymooners. the first car he walked in the first time he saw jackie was on the set to the show life. and that one fresh felt that god would have when a cast that was so one hasn't responded you'd find that that you know like i asked you about earlier feinstein said it's called acting. he was a master the zen is the living in the present right yeah that's a good yeah there you go he was in this i'm not my position is yeah i do my you know i give it my shot you know you awful philosophical i mean i sit i sit you know

i meditate you know you do better. help me with that when you're meditating what are you thinking. whatever i'm think whatever whatever's there you know i'm in the ideas to you know you know i mean the you know the kind of the technique is to just follow your breath you know you know just pay attention to hear your breathing is or going well what happens is your mind you know just like you know your salad very glands are built to salivate your mind's meant to have all kinds of thoughts and ideas so you sitting there you know paying attention to your breath and here comes the thought what i'm going to say we have larry king i wonder what he's going to wear i wonder because suspenders with you know the back you're breathing you know and so you do it you do this so it's not about it's not a matter of but not you know stop thinking you know don't don't think whatever you do that you know because that's that's not again i'm not you can't can't i just kind of comes and you just go back and you try not to be so attached to your

thinking you know because. i find that that's one of the challenging things in life where you you know your mind thinks and you'll have a fun. and that thought will. you know and then you'll start to tell stories about it you know until you work yourself up you know and it's just your mind going on but if you're not the if you're not you know realizing that it's your mind it's not really a serious concrete thing you can cause you some suffering you were in new york when jeff bridges he stars in all right he'd be a while one that opens friday but don't go away.

i marinate joining me. for that impartial and financial reporting commentary interviews and much much. only on the best and. i'm the bad. guy but i think corporation kind of can. do and i think that all about money and i'm a family that for politicians write a lot and write. well rick thanks for coming out. here

the thing you know i kind of get a similar hit with you actually i can really know that you enjoyed doing it we loved this love it and it's kind of a when you joyous it's contagious you know and that whenever my dad you probably felt it with my day you knew my dad all over there when he came in and you hung out with him you said oh yeah we're alive this is kind of fun you know what where we want to go here and he lived you know man i like your mom. did you ever meet my mom oh she. she whether it was a mariner she passed away while she was a cared she also wrote a book i think the end of the title is. you caught me you caught me kissing or something like that but she titled she wanted that the publishers refused was. but the life of an actor's wife cueing in screwing.

before my father kind of struggled with that you know with c. hunt. people thought he was a skin diver which is a wonderful compliment but he got typecast and those are the kind of roles he kept getting offered so i took a kind of a cue from that and really want to about trying not to develop to strong a persona so you mentioned it and yet again the contender i love the thing just before that i was the dude you know sort of go from the dude to the press you know that's pretty cool i dug that i love the greats in the contender when you confront that pompous ass oh that there's a scary moment but that is that a man they got is going to be vice president. they're going to rest of us and order food for us. as well written so they have a very you have a favorite role. not really this kind of like your kids you know that oh corny thing actors. i really have such
