Some actors couldn't figure out how to withstand the constant rejection. They couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
— Harrison Ford
My older kids are fantastic people. It can't be the result of my influence on them.
It took me a long time to figure out how to act, and how to conduct myself in the business so I could get what I felt I needed to support my potential and give them what they wanted.
I've always been somewhere down from the top, so I've never had to suffer being knocked off the top.
I was always very grateful I was never hot. In the entire length of my career, I haven't been the most adored.
I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship.
I enjoyed carpentry, and it was very good to me for 12 years.
Everything I do, I'm sort of half in, half out.
All my friends were going off to be professionals, and I said I wanted to be an actor.
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.
There is no child left within me, none whatsoever.
Really, what are the options? Levi's or Wranglers. And you just pick one. It's one of those life choices.
My goal was just to work regularly. I didn't ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor.
If I were a serious person, I'd probably have a real job.
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.
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 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.
I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work, and for the work I might be capable of.
Directing is too hard, it takes too much time, and it doesn't pay very well.
It's very little trouble for me to accommodate my fans, unless I'm actually taking a pee at the time.
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Parenting is an impossible job at any age.
My character is meant to know nothing about rap, and not to like it very much, but I know about it, because my kids make me listen to it. There's some rap I do like very much. I like Eminem, Blackalicious.
I've never wanted to be the boss.
I was completely unprepared for the public spectacle my private life became, and didn't like it a bit.
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.
I get mad when people call me an action movie star. Indiana Jones is an adventure film, a comic book, a fantasy.
Hollywood's got its own particular environment.
Bikes and planes aren't about going fast or having fun; they're toys, but serious ones.
I'm addicted to Altoids. I call them 'acting pills.'
We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance.
