Zitat des Tages von Harrison Ford:
We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance.
I'm like old shoes. I've never been hip. I think the reason I'm still here is that I was never enough in fashion that I had to be replaced by something new.
It's very little trouble for me to accommodate my fans, unless I'm actually taking a pee at the time.
I rarely play a real person, because I don't think I'm a good imitator.
I get mad when people call me an action movie star. Indiana Jones is an adventure film, a comic book, a fantasy.
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
What's important is to be able to see yourself, I think, as having commonality with other people and not determine, because of your good luck, that everybody is less significant, less interesting, less important than you are.
I don't like baseball movies. I like movies about moral courage and people who are indomitable and courageous and right.
I think 'Indiana Jones' was a lot of fun to do because of the places we went to and the adventures and the action. But Han Solo was also a huge part of my life.
I was always very grateful I was never hot. In the entire length of my career, I haven't been the most adored.
I've always been somewhere down from the top, so I've never had to suffer being knocked off the top.
Directing is too hard, it takes too much time, and it doesn't pay very well.
Really, what are the options? Levi's or Wranglers. And you just pick one. It's one of those life choices.
Parenting is an impossible job at any age.
I wanted to be a forest ranger or a coal man. At a very early age, I knew I didn't want to do what my dad did, which was work in an office.
The trick of this thing and the beauty of this thing is that it's a cowboy movie first and then stuff happens. Even after stuff happens it doesn't change - it hasn't suddenly changed into another kind of movie. It's still a cowboy movie. And that's what's incredible about it because nobody has done that before, that's new territory.
What I observed about my fellow actors was that most gave up very easily.
I don't do a huge amount of physical activity. I play tennis, I work out sporadically, and I eat well and take care of myself.
I actually like snakes! When I was young, I was a boy scout nature camp counselor, and one of our projects was collecting snakes and creating an environment for them, so I'm quite familiar with snakes and think they're fantastic creatures.
I'm addicted to Altoids. I call them 'acting pills.'
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.
I enjoyed carpentry, and it was very good to me for 12 years.
When I first started out, I was a bad actor.
I think what a lot of action movies lose these days, especially the ones that deal with fantasy, is you stop caring at some point because you've lost human scale.
I am not the first man who wanted to make changes in his life at 60 and I won't be the last. It is just that others can do it with anonymity.
Everything I do, I'm sort of half in, half out.
I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship.
I have relationships with people I'm working with, based on our combined interest. It doesn't make the relationship any less sincere, but it does give it a focus that may not last beyond the experience.
Am I grumpy? I might be. But I think maybe sometimes it's misinterpreted.
Bikes and planes aren't about going fast or having fun; they're toys, but serious ones.
Some actors couldn't figure out how to withstand the constant rejection. They couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Starring in a science-fiction film doesn't mean you have to act science fiction.
I have the ordinary experience of being anonymous when I'm in an airplane talking to air-traffic control, and they don't know who they're talking to. I have a lot of common experiences.
You may get real tired watching me, but I'm not going to quit.
I don't mind doing interviews. I don't mind answering thoughtful questions. But I'm not thrilled about answering questions like, 'If you were being mugged, and you had a lightsaber in one pocket and a whip in the other, which would you use?'
I think of myself as an assistant storyteller.
