More quotes by Harrison Ford
What I look for is identifying what the utility of a character is to the telling of the story overall. If I can identify that from reading the script, then I've got a clear idea of whether or not I think the character is worth playing.
Harrison Ford
I try to preserve a certain amount of time away from the movies, so I don't allow time to do those smaller parts that might give me an opportunity to do more seemingly 'artful' things. Although, having said that, I don't feel any lack of noble purpose if I do a film that's commercial.
Harrison Ford
I think American films right now are suffering from an excess of scale. Lots of movies we're seeing now are more akin to video games than stories about human life and relationships. Twelve- to 20-year-olds are maybe the largest economic force in the US movie business. I'm not a very nostalgic person - but I enjoy a good story.
Harrison Ford
[ Chadwick Boseman] was not a baseball player. He spent, I don't know, countless hours, many months, working two sessions a day with professional pro coaches to develop the baseball skills that he needed.
Harrison Ford
When I first started out, I was a bad actor.
Harrison Ford
I thought it was funny. I always thought Star Wars and Indiana Jones were basically comedies. The humour came out of their relationships it came out of the fact that we were basically types.
Harrison Ford
To me, success is choice and opportunity.
Harrison Ford
Wood burns faster when you have to cut and chop it yourself.
Harrison Ford
You have to remember that baseball really was the American pastime in the Forties, not football, basketball or any other sport.
Harrison Ford
If you're asking me to acknowledge that I've gotten older, I can do that.
Harrison Ford
A bad guy in a movie has a lot of latitude for acting. He can walk up the wall, crawl across the ceiling, go piss in the corner and everybody will say, Fantastic! But somebody's going to have to catch that sucker. Somebody's going to have to play the guy who gets him in the end. And that's a better part.
Harrison Ford
There is no barrier to Indiana Jones growing older. It's not an age-based character. We can't bang him up as much as we used to, maybe. But I guess I can pretend to have the capacity as well as I pretended before.
Harrison Ford
Why do I ask for directions? Because I hate wasting time.
Harrison Ford
Nothing shocks me. I'm a scientist.
Harrison Ford
I was 35 when I first hit with Star Wars. I had some degree of maturity and some degree of experience, yet physically I still looked young. That had been an impediment early on in my career, but then it turned out to be an advantage.
Harrison Ford
[ Chadwick Boseman] is a remarkable actor, and he's a remarkable person.
Harrison Ford
There is no child left within me, none whatsoever.
Harrison Ford
You have to have a darkness...for the dawn to come. You have to have experienced difficulties and challenges to fully appreciate and be grateful for success.
Harrison Ford
Money is really only important if you don't have any.
Harrison Ford
What is news? It's hard to quantify. Certainly news has changed completely, and the morning shows are not really designed to bring you the news, except to tell you what happened overnight, and the rest of it is a kind of magazine mentality - a little bit of this, a little bit of that. It's harder to be an educated and informed citizen.
