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.

Some actors couldn't figure out how to withstand the constant rejection. They couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The focus and the concentration and the attention to detail that flying takes is a kind of meditation. I find it restful and engaging, and other things slip away.

It doesn't interest me to be Harrison Ford. It interests me to be Mike Pomeroy and Indiana Jones and Jack Ryan. I don't want to be in the Harrison Ford business. I take what I do seriously, but I...

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

I was never that much a focus of interest in my career. I'm aware of that now, which doesn't give me a lot of pleasure.

Really, what are the options? Levi's or Wranglers. And you just pick one. It's one of those life choices.

If I were a serious person, I'd probably have a real job.

I was completely unprepared for the public spectacle my private life became, and didn't like it a bit.

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