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?

I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up.
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.
Harrison Ford
Image
I rarely play a real person, because I don't think I'm a good imitator.
Harrison Ford
Image
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
Image
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.

Starring in a science-fiction film doesn't mean you have to act science fiction.

Image
Really, what are the options? Levi's or Wranglers. And you just pick one. It's one of those life choices.
Harrison Ford
Image
What I found was an emotional consistency with him. The words, the scenes, the situations - I wasn't mimicking what I thought Branch Rickey's emotional reality would have been.
