Jeff Bridges: Actor, Musician or Both?
With a fresh Oscar win under his belt for "Crazy Heart," actor Jeff Bridges opened up March 7 during an interview with Guitar Aficionado, about his passion for playing music.
"I dug what an actor did, but it took me a while to feel it, to truly appreciate the craft and the preparation," Bridges says. "Plus, I was still playing music a lot, and I guess I had a hard time choosing: was I an actor or a musician, or could I be both?"

"My father, unlike a lot of people in the acting field, really encouraged all his kids to go into show business, he loved it so much. And you know how kids feel about what their parents want them to do, you know? So I had a lot of resistance to that. "No, Dad, I want to get into music." He said you can put your music into it [acting]."
