I knew that there was an aspect to this story that was beyond the typical and that it was something very important about America, about our culture, and about bringing a story to a new generation that perhaps didn't know the details of it, (and) hadn't had the visceral experience that this film is [42].

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.

I'm addicted to Altoids. I call them 'acting pills.'
Harrison Ford
Image
The focus and the concentration and the attention to detail that flying takes is a kind of meditation. I find it restful and engaging, and other things slip away.

Image
All my friends were going off to be professionals, and I said I wanted to be an actor.
Harrison Ford
Image
I think it turned out to be a pretty good movie [42]. I wouldn't lie to you.

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.

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].

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.

The third time you say a thing it sounds like a lie.

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

Image
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.

It's time to change the conversation about nature to focus on what we all have in common: our shared humanity.

I've never wanted to be the boss.
Harrison Ford
Image
I try to preserve a certain amount of time away from the movies, so I don't allow time to do those smaller parts that might give me an opportunity to do more seemingly 'artful' things. Although, having said that, I don't feel any lack of noble purpose if I do a film that's commercial.

Image
It took me a long time to figure out how to act, and how to conduct myself in the business so I could get what I felt I needed to support my potential and give them what they wanted.
Harrison Ford
Image
Why do I ask for directions? Because I hate wasting time.
Harrison Ford
Image
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.

When I met scientists, I found them to be as various as any other group of people.
