But let’s not leave hungry.
Let’s instead leave with a tender lesson on love from Bridges, who has
been married to his wife, Susan, for 37 years. He was asked, “To what do
you attribute the success of your marriage in an industry notoriously
hard on relationships?” You might want to write this down."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… The toughest thing about making movies is being
apart from your family. One of the things I try my best to do is call my
wife every day, to keep up to speed with what’s going on in her life.
And tell her what’s going on with mine. Often when you’re apart from
your loved one like that for so long, your connection kind of atrophies
unless you keep engaged, even if it’s small everyday kind of stuff. But
another aspect of keeping a marriage together, I think it’s important to
- you’ll think I’m silly - but to love each other, which begs the
question: "what is love?" Words that come to mind are openness,
understanding, gentleness, kindness, and kind of working on those
things, because everyone has a light and a dark side, I think, selfish
aspects, and to kind of recognize those in each other and realize that
we are going to have our own particular story at any given time, and
those stories, they might not be the ultimate truth but they are
certainly true for each of us, so to understand that we are each going
through our particular version of reality, to respect that, and to
nurture being in love, you know? To nurture that."
