My older kids are fantastic people. It can't be the result of my influence on them.

Los Angeles is where you have to be if you want to be an actor. You have no choice. You go there or New York. I flipped a coin about it. It came up New York, so I flipped again. When you're starting out to be an actor, who wants to go where it's cold and miserable and be poor there?

Harrison Ford
Image
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
Image
Hard work and a proper frame of mind prepare you for the lucky breaks that come along -- or don't.
Harrison Ford
Image
Everything I do, I'm sort of half in, half out.
Harrison Ford
Image
When I first started out, I was a bad actor.
Harrison Ford
Image
There's a real simple analogy. You have to perceive it from the ground up. You have to lay a firm foundation, then every step becomes part of a logical process.

Image
Money is really only important if you don't have any.

I've never wanted to be the boss.

The basic skill of an actor is, in fact, empathy, and that's maybe not a skill, it's a disposition. I am an assistant storyteller. I enjoy feeling useful to a team effort. It's my way of finding a use for myself, a utility in this world.

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.

The only ambition I ever had going into and committing to wanting to be an actor was to live my life.
