"The Dude abides."

"And that's one of the great things about actors: their willingness to play and to do something."
"Oh yeah!"
"I guess it's out on the edge but it's a wonderful edge to play out on. And, with a playmate like Terry, it makes it all the more enticing."
"But it's tough what we're doing here -- selling a movie. I like to know to as little as possible about movies that I'm interested in seeing."
"[Everything in Tideland is surprising.] But it's tough what we're doing here -- selling a movie, ... I like to know to as little as possible about movies that I'm interested in seeing."

Tumbling Vine

by: Jeff Bridges

Here is the freedom
I have been sent
I'm delighted
I'm buddhistly bent
Wonderful newness
The past is a dream
The future is hiding
Ice and steam
Here is my seat
I do not pay rent
I'm delighted
I'm buddhistly bent
Wonderful mind
Outside of time
Aimlessly playing
A tumbling vine
Shining, opening mind
Beetle's black back on a tumbling vine
Where the sun shines
It's night all the time
Behind my mind it's dawn
It's gone
It's gone
Gone
