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.

More quotes by 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
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 rarely play a real person, because I don't think I'm a good imitator.
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
The kindest word to describe my performance in school was Sloth.
Harrison Ford
I'm like old shoes. I've never been hip. I think the reason I'm still here is that I was never enough in fashion that I had to be replaced by something new.
Harrison Ford
I just don't think of age and time in respect of years. I have too much experience of people in their seventies who are vigorous and useful and people who are thirty-five who are in lousy physical shape and can't think straight. I don't think age has that much to do with it.
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
When I met scientists, I found them to be as various as any other group of people.
Harrison Ford
Our health relies entirely on the vitality of our fellow species on Earth.
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
Money is really only important if you don't have any.
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
Irish as a person but I feel Jewish as an actor.
Harrison Ford
That's always my ambition is to create a character out of what will help tell the story. I've never been an actor to say my character wouldn't do that, because he should do that in order to help tell the story.
Harrison Ford
It's always nice to anticipate working in something that you know people will have an appetite for.
Harrison Ford
The job's always the same. It involves helping to tell the story and creating an alloy between character and story that serves the film.
Harrison Ford
I've always been somewhere down from the top, so I've never had to suffer being knocked off the top.
Harrison Ford
I think American films right now are suffering from an excess of scale. Lots of movies we're seeing now are more akin to video games than stories about human life and relationships. Twelve- to 20-year-olds are maybe the largest economic force in the US movie business. I'm not a very nostalgic person - but I enjoy a good story.
Harrison Ford
People need to see what's going on, and they have to be exposed to the mechanisms that can help make it right.
Harrison Ford
