Harrison Ford

Directing is too hard, it takes too much time, and it doesn't pay very well.

I have the ordinary experience of being anonymous when I'm in an airplane talking to air-traffic control, and they don't know who they're talking to. I have a lot of common experiences.

Hollywood's got its own particular environment.

I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work, and for the work I might be capable of.

I am not the first man who wanted to make changes in his life at 60 and I won't be the last. It is just that others can do it with anonymity.

All my friends were going off to be professionals, and I said I wanted to be an actor.

I think retirement's for old people. I'm still in the business, thank you. I have a young child of nine years old, and I want to live as long as I can to see him grow up. I'm enjoying my life and I want to stick around for as long as I can.

Bikes and planes aren't about going fast or having fun; they're toys, but serious ones.
Harrison Ford

I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

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

I don't mind doing interviews. I don't mind answering thoughtful questions. But I'm not thrilled about answering questions like, 'If you were being mugged, and you had a lightsaber in one pocket and a whip in the other, which would you use?'
Harrison Ford

Everything I do, I'm sort of half in, half out.
Harrison Ford

Am I grumpy? I might be. But I think maybe sometimes it's misinterpreted.
Harrison Ford

I enjoyed carpentry, and it was very good to me for 12 years.
Harrison Ford

I get mad when people call me an action movie star. Indiana Jones is an adventure film, a comic book, a fantasy.
Harrison Ford

I think what a lot of action movies lose these days, especially the ones that deal with fantasy, is you stop caring at some point because you've lost human scale.
Harrison Ford

I wanted to be a forest ranger or a coal man. At a very early age, I knew I didn't want to do what my dad did, which was work in an office.
Harrison Ford

I have relationships with people I'm working with, based on our combined interest. It doesn't make the relationship any less sincere, but it does give it a focus that may not last beyond the experience.
Harrison Ford

I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship.
Harrison Ford

I rarely play a real person, because I don't think I'm a good imitator.
Harrison Ford
