Nature doesn't need people - people need nature; nature would survive the extinction of the human being and go on just fine, but human culture, human beings, cannot survive without nature.

I rarely play a real person, because I don't think I'm a good imitator.
-
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.
-
It's very little trouble for me to accommodate my fans, unless I'm actually taking a pee at the time.
-
I've never wanted to be the boss.
-
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.
-
It's a privilege to be able to be involved with people as talented as the people I've had the luck to work with, and it's just been a great experience for me, and I'm glad that so many of the films I've had the luck to do were films that could be enjoyed by families together.

The kindest word to describe my performance in school was Sloth.
-
My approach to acting is the 'let's pretend' school of acting.
-
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?
-
What is news? It's hard to quantify. Certainly news has changed completely, and the morning shows are not really designed to bring you the news, except to tell you what happened overnight, and the rest of it is a kind of magazine mentality - a little bit of this, a little bit of that. It's harder to be an educated and informed citizen.

J. J. Abrams is a director that I've admired for a long time, from the very first scripts he wrote - including 'Regarding Henry,' which I was in.
-
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.
-
The original 'Star Wars' that I was a part of really was the beginning of my working life.
-
I get mad when people call me an action movie star. Indiana Jones is an adventure film, a comic book, a fantasy.
-
My older kids are fantastic people. It can't be the result of my influence on them.
-
What's important is to be able to see yourself, I think, as having commonality with other people and not determine, because of your good luck, that everybody is less significant, less interesting, less important than you are.
-
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.
-
I don't like baseball movies. I like movies about moral courage and people who are indomitable and courageous and right.
-
To me, success is choice and opportunity.
-
What I observed about my fellow actors was that most gave up very easily.
-
Bikes and planes aren't about going fast or having fun; they're toys, but serious ones.
-
If you're asking me to acknowledge that I've gotten older, I can do that.
-
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.
