My occupation is assistant storyteller. It is not "icon."

Whoever had the bright idea of putting Indiana Jones in a leather jacket and a fedora in the jungle ought to be dragged into the street and shot.

I have an attorney. I'm looking to be rich like Harrison Ford. I'm trying to have planes and do all that stuff.
-
The only thing that I have done that is not mitigated by luck, diminished by good fortune, is that I persisted, and other people gave up.

Never again will I allow our political self-interest to deter us from doing what we know to be morally right. Atrocity and terror are not political weapons. And to those who would use them, your day is over. We will never negotiate. We will no longer tolerate and we will no longer be afraid. It's your turn to be afraid.

Because the character is a fiction, he's a composite of other contributors to the science that brought this enzyme therapy through the process. We had the opportunity to make him up out of those things that helped tell the story. We wanted to create both ally and antagonist for John ...

I believe that the racial injustice which existed such a short time ago probably would have persisted longer if the color barrier had not been broken in baseball.

I don't do stunts - I do running, jumping and falling down. After 25 years I know exactly what I'm doing.

I was 35 when I first hit with Star Wars. I had some degree of maturity and some degree of experience, yet physically I still looked young. That had been an impediment early on in my career, but then it turned out to be an advantage.

'May the Force be with you' is charming but it's not important. What's important is that you become the Force - for yourself and perhaps for other people.
-
I had the idea that the film would be much better served by a Branch Rickey lookalike than a Harrison Ford lookalike. I didn't want the audience to go into the film thinking that they knew me from some previous experience in a movie.

You have to remember that baseball really was the American pastime in the Forties, not football, basketball or any other sport.

What I hate is the loss of anonymity.

When I was a carpenter, I once worked with this Russian lady architect. I would tell her, ‘Look, I’m terribly sorry, but I want to change that a half inch,’ and she would say, ‘No limit for better.’ I think that is a worthy credo.

You get a sense of reference there. You feel part of something that's got order and balance and harmony to it. All the distraction and noise, all the confusion of misplaced, misdirected energy just don't happen there.

I've always wanted to be bald. I mean it, completely bald. Wouldn't it be great to be bald in the rain?

Hard work and a proper frame of mind prepare you for the lucky breaks that come along -- or don't.

With the CGI, suddenly there's a thousand enemies instead of six - the army goes off into the horizon. You don't need that. The audience loses its relationship with the threat on the screen. That's something that's consistently happening and it makes these movies like video games and that's a soulless enterprise. It's all kinetics without emotion.

The only ambition I ever had going into and committing to wanting to be an actor was to live my life.
-
I think you have to be very careful with effects that they don't overpower the story with the visual element.
-
It's the primordial characters of the Star Wars. It's the beautiful princess and the callow youth and the smartass that I played and the wise old warrior that Alec Guinness played. And it was a fairy tale. It was a fairy tale.

I do not go to the gym. I do not train. I am not that careful about what I eat. I cannot give you any advice about keeping fit. The best advice I can give is choose your parents wisely.
