What I observed about my fellow actors was that most gave up very easily.

What I think is really great about this movie [42], that young people who weren't there will have a chance to have the visceral experience of what Jackie Robinson went through.

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.

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.

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

My ambition from the very beginning was to make a good part for myself, something differently to what lately I've been doing.

Chadwick Boseman work as an actor, I think, is truly remarkable, and I had a great time working with him.
Harrison Ford
Image
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.

Hollywood's got its own particular environment.
Harrison Ford
Image
I was completely unprepared for the public spectacle my private life became, and didn't like it a bit.
Harrison Ford
Image
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
Image
The only ambition I ever had going into and committing to wanting to be an actor was to live my life.
Harrison Ford

Why do I ask for directions? Because I hate wasting time.

I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up.
