More quotes by 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
I get mad when people call me an action movie star. Indiana Jones is an adventure film, a comic book, a fantasy.
Harrison Ford
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.
Harrison Ford
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.
Harrison Ford
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].
Harrison Ford
[In relationships with a directors] I want to be able to give and take, and I can't name what it is: respect, energy, investment in the task, focus, humor, intelligence, but I always feel responsible for taking the money.
Harrison Ford
To me, success is choice and opportunity.
Harrison Ford
Why do I ask for directions? Because I hate wasting time.
Harrison Ford
The job's always the same. It involves helping to tell the story and creating an alloy between character and story that serves the film.
Harrison Ford
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.
Harrison Ford
The third time you say a thing it sounds like a lie.
Harrison Ford
I came across the script [42], and I read it, and I said, I really want to do this. And when I had my agent call, they said, ah, you know, it's not what they're looking for. So, OK. And then I let it go for a while, and then it just kept gnawing at me, so I kept pushing.
Harrison Ford
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?'
Harrison Ford
I'm still interested in perfecting whatever talents I have and continuing to grow as an actor and continuing to be useful to the telling of the story.
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
Baseball was a metaphor for America, both here and in terms of how it was understood by the rest of the world.
Harrison Ford
All I would tell people is to hold onto what was individual about themselves, not to allow their ambition for success to cause them to try to imitate the success of others. You've got to find it on your own terms.
Harrison Ford
There is no child left within me, none whatsoever.
Harrison Ford
Chadwick Boseman work as an actor, I think, is truly remarkable, and I had a great time working with him.
