Am I grumpy? I might be. But I think maybe sometimes it's misinterpreted.

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

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

Hollywood's got its own particular environment.

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

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 pocket and a whip in the other, which would you use?'

I think retirement's for old people. I'm still in the business, thank you. I have a young child of nine years old, and I want to live as long as I can to see him grow up. I'm enjoying my life and I want to stick around for as long as I can.
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.

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.
