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.

More quotes by 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
I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, so nothing of what I was studying seemed to fit. I know now that I should have taken advantage of that time and that I missed a great deal of the opportunity to educate myself.
Harrison Ford
My occupation is assistant storyteller. It is not icon.
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
I think people only have so much interest in anybody, and if you barrage them in between the times you have something to offer them you become a personality rather than an actor - much more short-lived. I only work once a year. And that's enough.
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
Whoever had the bright idea of putting Indiana Jones in a leather jacket and a fedora in the jungle ought to be dragged into the street and shot.
Harrison Ford
For some directors, I'm the actor from hell.
Harrison Ford
I had no expectation of the level of adulation that would come my way. I just wanted to make a living with a regular role in a television series.
Harrison Ford
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.
Harrison Ford
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.
Harrison Ford
I was completely unprepared for the public spectacle my private life became, and didn't like it a bit.
Harrison Ford
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
I just don't think of age and time in respect of years. I have too much experience of people in their seventies who are vigorous and useful and people who are thirty-five who are in lousy physical shape and can't think straight. I don't think age has that much to do with it.
Harrison Ford
The only thing hard about being an actor is being out of work. So, when you get a job - that part ain't hard at all.
Harrison Ford
If you're asking me to acknowledge that I've gotten older, I can do that.
Harrison Ford
When I met scientists, I found them to be as various as any other group of people.
Harrison Ford
It's the primordial characters [of the Star Wars]. It's the beautiful princess and the callow youth and the smartass that I played and the wise old warrior that Alec Guinness played. And it was a fairy tale. It was a fairy tale.
Harrison Ford
I've never wanted to be the boss.
Harrison Ford
What I observed about my fellow actors was that most gave up very easily.
