Personal quotes
It's a little-known fact, but I wanted Han Solo to die at the end ofStar Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983). I thought itwould give more weight and resonance. But George Lucas (I)wasn't symp...
[to theater owners in Las Vegas] I'll make you a deal. I'll try to keepmaking films that put people in your theatre seats and you try to keeptheir shoes from sticking to the floor.
[on being a leading man] I'm like a fireman. When I go out on a call, Iwant to put out a big fire, I don't want to put out a fire in adumpster.
I used to shake my head, as in "No, I just look like him." But that'snot fair. So I said to those little old ladies at Trenton Airport,"Yes, I am Harrison Ford". And they still didn't believe it was me.
[on playing Indiana Jones again inIndiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)] Noone wants to see a hero have to pick up his cane to hit someone, butI'm still quite fit enough to fake it.
[on his marriage to Melissa Mathison] It was just part of thecontinuum of the relationship . . . I don't know if I ever proposed toher.
