(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jeff Bridges says music is the big force within him at the moment.

The star received the best actor Oscar this year for his performance in Crazy Heart, and is currently promoting his new sci-fi movie TRON: Legacy. He has several other films in the pipeline, but at the moment its music which is really exciting him.

He has been recording an album with American musician T-Bone Burnett recently, and finally feels like he is creating the kind of tracks hes always wanted to.

The music is a big force in me now. I really feel like - Im goin on 61 years old now and Ive been playing music since I was a teenager, and now for some reason all the stars are aligned and its just comin out, he explained. Thats my big dream thats being realised as we speak.

Jeff enjoys making movies, although he wishes it didnt mean spending so much time away from his wife Susan Geston and their kids. For that reason he tries his hardest not to get involved with projects, only agreeing to them when he truly feels he cant resist.

You know I really try hard not to work, not to engage, because I know what that means. What hard work it is, it takes me away from my family. My wife and I were separated last year for 11 months. You know she comes for visits and stuff but its just, thats the down side of it, he told Collider. So I really try to resist engagement, and when I cant resist, thats what I end up doing.
