More quotes by 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 had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, so nothing of what I was studying seemed to fit. I know now that I should have taken advantage of that time and that I missed a great deal of the opportunity to educate myself.
Harrison Ford
There is no barrier to Indiana Jones growing older. It's not an age-based character. We can't bang him up as much as we used to, maybe. But I guess I can pretend to have the capacity as well as I pretended before.
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
Why do I ask for directions? Because I hate wasting time.
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
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
I found out that drama was a fascinating exercise as a way to get out of my self and into somebody else's head.
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
I was 35 when I first hit with Star Wars. I had some degree of maturity and some degree of experience, yet physically I still looked young. That had been an impediment early on in my career, but then it turned out to be an advantage.
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
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
I think parenting is a huge responsibility. It was in my time when I was growing up and there still continues to be that responsibility.
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
It's not the years honey, it's the mileage.
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
The only ambition I ever had going into and committing to wanting to be an actor was to live my life.
Harrison Ford
Starring in a science-fiction film doesn't mean you have to act science fiction.
Harrison Ford
What I look for is identifying what the utility of a character is to the telling of the story overall. If I can identify that from reading the script, then I've got a clear idea of whether or not I think the character is worth playing.
Harrison Ford
I thought it was funny. I always thought Star Wars and Indiana Jones were basically comedies. The humour came out of their relationships it came out of the fact that we were basically types.
