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
Image
It doesn't matter to me whether I go back to outer space or not [while acting]. The job's the same and I don't have any sort of genre preferences. I'm looking for a good story and a good character, whether earthbound or not.
Harrison Ford
Image
I rarely play a real person, because I don't think I'm a good imitator.
Harrison Ford
Image
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.

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
Image
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.
Harrison Ford
Image
I'm like a fireman. When I go out on a call, I want to put out a big fire, I don't want to put out a fire in a dumpster.
Harrison Ford
Image
I'm addicted to Altoids. I call them 'acting pills.'
Harrison Ford
Image
Because the character is a fiction, he's a composite of other contributors to the science that brought this enzyme therapy through the process. We had the opportunity to make him up out of those things that helped tell the story. We wanted to create both ally and antagonist for John [in the Extraordinary measures].

Irish as a person but I feel Jewish as an actor.
Harrison Ford
Image
When I first started out, I was a bad actor.
Harrison Ford
Image
What I found was an emotional consistency with him. The words, the scenes, the situations - I wasn't mimicking what I thought Branch Rickey's emotional reality would have been.
Harrison Ford
Image
There is no child left within me, none whatsoever.
Harrison Ford
Image
I was completely unprepared for the public spectacle my private life became, and didn't like it a bit.

Hollywood's got its own particular environment.

Baseball was a metaphor for America, both here and in terms of how it was understood by the rest of the world.
