Harrison Ford

“We have to understand in value what the services of nature are so that we can understand that degrading them is an irreplaceable resource that no amount of money or human ingenuity can replace.”

“I've always been somewhere down from the top, so I've never had to suffer being knocked off the top.”

“When I first started out, I was a bad actor.”

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

“Peace is not the absence of war but the presence of justice.”

“I wanted to live the life, a different life. I didn't want to go to the same place every day and see the same people and do the same job. I wanted interesting challenges.”

“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.”

“'Years of Living Dangerously' is a wonderful opportunity to reach a lot of people with the story and importance of climate change in our lives; in recent history, there's no bigger threat to the quality of human life than what is taking place right now in respect of climate change.”

“I had a very strong feeling about the Vietnam War, and I had a strong feeling about participating in it. The military draft was in place, I was summoned for a physical exam, and I was either going to be classified as fit for military service or make my objection to it. So I made my objection to it.”

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

“I retire every time I'm done with a movie. Then I go back. You know, I enjoy sleep. But I love to work; it's fun for me. As long as it continues to be fun, and I'm tolerated by the people around me, I will do it.”

“I'd love to do another 'Indiana Jones.' A character that has a history and a potential, kind of a rollicking good movie ride for the audience, Steven Spielberg as a director - what's not to like?”

“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.”

“My older kids are fantastic people. It can't be the result of my influence on them.”

“The original 'Star Wars' that I was a part of really was the beginning of my working life.”

“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.”

“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 wing, I was run over by the landing gear and injured my knee, but I can't remember which one it was. Lots of bumps and injuries along the way.”

“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.”

“You may get real tired watching me, but I'm not going to quit.”

“I don't like baseball movies. I like movies about moral courage and people who are indomitable and courageous and right.”
