More quotes by 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 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
My ambition from the very beginning was to make a good part for myself, something differently to what lately I've been doing.
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 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
The only ambition I ever had going into and committing to wanting to be an actor was to live my life.
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
[ Chadwick Boseman] was not a baseball player. He spent, I don't know, countless hours, many months, working two sessions a day with professional pro coaches to develop the baseball skills that he needed.
Harrison Ford
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.
Harrison Ford
I don't do a huge amount of physical activity. I play tennis, I work out sporadically, and I eat well and take care of myself.
Harrison Ford
You have to remember that baseball really was the American pastime in the Forties, not football, basketball or any other sport.
Harrison Ford
It's always nice to anticipate working in something that you know people will have an appetite for.
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
If you're asking me to acknowledge that I've gotten older, I can do that.
Harrison Ford
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.
Harrison Ford
What I think is important for a young person is to figure out how to be useful and not be so concentrated on themselves, but to see what they can do to make the overall collaboration with all the other people involved in a movie work better.
Harrison Ford
Irish as a person but I feel Jewish as an actor.
Harrison Ford
I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up.
Harrison Ford
I don't take trouble at all to conform a screenplay to my iconography. I don't say, We can't do that - the audience wouldn't accept it. I try to take the limitations of what is required to play a leading character and then screw with them.
Harrison Ford
I need a challenge. I need the intellectual stimulation. I'm a member of a community on each film, working in concert to try to bring an idea to life. It's a great job.
