Harrison Ford

“Being happy is something you have to learn. I often surprise myself by saying, "Wow, this is it. I guess I'm happy. I've got a home that I love. A career that I love. I'm even feeling more a...”

“Acting was a way out at first. A way out of not knowing what to do, a way of focusing ambitions. And the ambition wasn't for fame. The ambition was to do an interesting job.”

“All I would tell people is to hold on to what was individual about themselves, not to allow their ambition for success to cause them to try to imitate the success of others. You've got to fi...”

“I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up. Most people in this business gave up and went on to other things. If you simply didn't give up, you would outlast the people who c...”

“It's very little trouble for me to accommodate my fans, unless I'm actually taking a pee at the time.”

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

“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.”

“I'm addicted to Altoids. I call them 'acting pills.'”

“I was always very grateful I was never hot. In the entire length of my career, I haven't been the most adored.”

“I think 'Indiana Jones' was a lot of fun to do because of the places we went to and the adventures and the action. But Han Solo was also a huge part of my life.”

“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.”

“On the first 'Indiana Jones' movie, I tore an ACL in one of my knees - can't remember which knee. The scene in which I was fighting the big German mechanic on an airplane called a flying win...”

“I want to go back to the Pantanal in Brazil. I've never been to sub-Saharan Africa. I'd like to take my Caravan over there and do a flying safari. I've never flown to Alaska.”

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

“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.”

“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 po...”

“I'm quite curious and excited about seeing a new script for 'Blade Runner.' If, in fact, the opportunity would exist to do another, if it's a good script, I would be very anxious to work wit...”

“The actor's popularity is evanescent; applauded today, forgotten tomorrow.”

“I think of myself as an assistant storyteller.”
