Harrison Ford Said


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

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

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

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

Hollywood's got its own particular environment.
Harrison Ford

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

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.
Harrison Ford

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

I was always very grateful I was never 'hot,'... In the entire length of my career, I haven't been the hottest, the No. 1, the most adored. I've always been somewhere down from the top, so I've never had to suffer being knocked off the top.
Harrison Ford

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

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

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.
Harrison Ford

I'm addicted to Altoids. I call them 'acting pills.'
Harrison Ford

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

I've never wanted to be the boss.
Harrison Ford

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

If you're asking me to acknowledge that I've gotten older, I can do that.
Harrison Ford

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.
Harrison Ford

It's very little trouble for me to accomodate my fans, unless I'm actually taking a pee at the time.
Harrison Ford

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.
Harrison Ford

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.
Harrison Ford

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

Parenting is an impossible job at any age.
Harrison Ford

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

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

Sometimes I try to improve the language, the lines, or the delivery, but I don't ad-lib because I think that makes it really hard for everybody else involved.
Harrison Ford

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

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.
Harrison Ford

The kindest word to describe my performance in school was Sloth.
Harrison Ford

The third time you say a thing it sounds like a lie.
Harrison Ford

There is no child left within me, none whatsoever.
Harrison Ford

To me, success is choice and opportunity.
Harrison Ford

We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance.
Harrison Ford

What I observed about my fellow actors was that most gave up very easily.
Harrison Ford

When I first started out, I was a bad actor.
Harrison Ford

You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Harrison Ford

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