QUOTES BY Harrison Ford


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

"I don't do a huge amount of physical activity. I play tennis, I work out sporadically, and I eat well and take care of myself."

"I get mad when people call me an action movie star. Indiana Jones is an adventure film, a comic book, a fantasy."

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

"I went down to Venezuela and ended up renting a helicopter and flew with my sons to the tops of the tepuis, these freestanding jungle mesas, 'lost worlds' as it were. In fact, it's almost impossible to access them without one. So we were able to land and spend some time there. We were trapped for about six hours by clouds that came in."

"I fly myself everywhere. I like all kinds of flying, including practical flying for search and rescue. And I also like to fly into the backcountry, usually the Frank Church Wilderness in Idaho. I go with a group of friends, and we set up camp for about five days and explore little dirt strips and canyons."

"I am Irish as a person, but I feel Jewish as an actor."

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

"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."
