Good fun! It sounds like he has a little trouble speaking at first.

Kia, I couldn't find a transcript anywhere. Darn it.

TRON Legacy footage with Sam and Flynn meeting

Cut to

Ari: I'm Ari Carpel with TIME today I'm asking 10 Questions of Jeff Bridges. Earlier this year he won the oscar for his work in Crazy Heart, and now he's followed it up with the scifi sequel TRON legacy and the western remake True Grit. Jeff thanks so much for being with us.

Jeff: My pleasure Ari.

Ari: Our first question comes from Denise Barnes from Chicago. "How does it feel to be back in the TRON universe again after some 20 years?"

Jeff: WOW, In a way it seems like we had a long weekend and then we got back to work because the fella who wrote the first one and directed the first one, Steve Lisberger. He was on the set all the time and I think Disney was very smart to include him. So while the film can be seen on its own, you don't have to have seen the first one to make sense, but if you did see the first one it's a great through, you know. So in a way it seems like I said we had a long weekend and went back to work. And in the other sense so much has changed you know when we did the first one there was no internet, we carried our cell phones in big suitcases it was a different world. And now, this movie makes the old one look like a black and white TV show.

Ari: TRON Legacy has a pretty unique take on a father / son relationship. "Is there something in particular that your father imparted to you?" Jerry LaBuy, Caledonia, Ill

Jeff: Yeah, my dad gosh. (Insert of Lloyd Bridges pic) A bunch of stuff, certainly all of the acting basics. You know I can remember as a young kid doing "Sea Hunt" the series he had back in the sixties and him teaching me you know all the basic stuff how to make it seem real like it's happening for the first time, all those sorts of things. I think the main thing I learned from him was his approach not only to his work but to his life. He was a very joyful guy and that joy kinda spread through the company when he would come on set. I got to work with him as an adult a couple of times on Blown Away and also Tucker and that was really evident.

Ari: "How does it feel to play the role John Wayne won an oscar for?" Matthew Maass, De Kalb, Texas

Jeff: Uh, one of the first things I asked the Choen bros. when they invited me to come on board was why they wanted to make True Grit again. There is already that movie. And they said we're not interested in that, the movie we're making is totally referring to the book by Charles Portis, and that's what we're doing. And we're not concerned with doing a remake of that movie per say. So that was kinda relief to me because I didn't have to get into the "Duke's" boots you know, I could just start fresh by that's what I did. (Cue True Grit clip)

Ari: A reader in Seattle asks: "What's the role that pushed you the hardest? Why?" Berkay Okzul, Seattle

Jeff: Each role is a challenge. You know what, one that really comes to mind is uh...Crazy Hard and probably why is because uh, music is so dear to my heart. I love making music and uh I was uh really wanted to make sure that beautiful long pass drop through my hands. And we had such a great script such a great team that Scott Cooper brought together and so I just wanted to do justice to that opportunity.

Ari: Such a good movie.

Jeff: It's a good one.

Ari: "Is it impossible for you to go bowling and not be bombarded by references to the Big Lebowski?" Dan Hawkins, Troy, N.Y.

Jeff: (Laughs hysterically) Gosh, what a funny question. Well Dan, you know it's so weird. I don't think I've been bowling (Laughs again) since Lebowski. But now as I say that maybe I must have been bowling. Fifteen years no bowling? I don't know. Oh I'm probably you know. I get you know, a lot of people dig "The Dude" I get that a lot wherever I go. It's probably the character I'm most recognized for, that I've portrayed.

Ari: You need to go bowling, first of all.

Jeff: Are you a bowler?

Ari: Not particularly, but I think it's time you did.

Jeff: When was the last time you went bowling?

Ari: I went bowling two years ago in the valley.

Jeff: See. God I wish I had a mind like that man. (Snaps) Like a steel trap.

Ari: Well I go so infrequently I acutally remember.

Jeff: Yeah but Yeah, I can't remember last week let alone two years ago.

Ari: "If you weren't acting, what would you be doing?" Lorena Marks, Austin

Jeff: (breathes) Well Lorenie, you live in a real music town there Austin. Gosh, I 'd probably be a musican. I love music, love to play love to play there in Austin.

Ari: Well Jeff Bridges thanks.

Jeff: Alright (shakes Ari's hand)

Ari: So nice to meet you.

Jeff: Nice meeting you Ari. Good talking (laughs)
