The best movies are made from a point of view of an understanding of human nature and an understanding of history and an understanding of what motivates people, of what makes a good movie from an emotional place.
Harrison Ford
Image
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.

What I observed about my fellow actors was that most gave up very easily.

People need to see what's going on, and they have to be exposed to the mechanisms that can help make it right.

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.

All my friends were going off to be professionals, and I said I wanted to be an actor.

I've always been somewhere down from the top, so I've never had to suffer being knocked off the top.

There are a lot of different paths through the jungle, but...the simplest thing you can do is make yourself useful. Be easy to work with, be a hard worker and help people get the job done. And do it with as much passion and quality as you can.

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.

The third time you say a thing it sounds like a lie.
Harrison Ford
Image
I don't think nostalgia is very useful to me. There is a story to be told, there's behaviour to create or to bring to the screen that will help tell that story, and nostalgia is just not really a big part of my emotional package.

Image
Never again will I allow our political self-interest to deter us from doing what we know to be morally right. Atrocity and terror are not political weapons. And to those who would use them, your day is over. We will never negotiate. We will no longer tolerate and we will no longer be afraid. It's your turn to be afraid.

Hollywood's got its own particular environment.

Irish as a person but I feel Jewish as an actor.

Really, what are the options? Levi's or Wranglers. And you just pick one. It's one of those life choices.

I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up.

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.

What I think is really great about this movie [42], that young people who weren't there will have a chance to have the visceral experience of what Jackie Robinson went through.

It's a wonderful opportunity to be part of a child's growing up, which is always an endless springtime. You see the blossoming and the growing and the nurturing and the payoff.

When I met scientists, I found them to be as various as any other group of people.
