More quotes by Harrison Ford
To me, success is choice and opportunity.
Harrison Ford
It's a wonderful opportunity to be part of a child's growing up, which is always an endless springtime. You see the blossoming and the growing and the nurturing and the payoff.

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
What I observed about my fellow actors was that most gave up very easily.
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
I've never wanted to be the boss.

Harrison Ford
I don't mind playing older characters. I find it interesting. There are parts I couldn't have got when I was 30 years old. So, it continues to interest me in the same way that it always did.
Harrison Ford
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.
Harrison Ford
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
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
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Harrison Ford
The Force is within you. Force yourself.
