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

I think it turned out to be a pretty good movie [42]. I wouldn't lie to you.

Starring in a science-fiction film doesn't mean you have to act science fiction.

When I met scientists, I found them to be as various as any other group of people.

My older kids are fantastic people. It can't be the result of my influence on them.

All my friends were going off to be professionals, and I said I wanted to be an actor.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

I'm not a poster boy for Conservation International. I'm a working member of the board.

Bikes and planes aren’t about going fast or having fun; they’re toys, but serious ones.

I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship.

You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.

The original 'Star Wars' that I was a part of really was the beginning of my working life.

Hell of a thing when a man's got good health, plenty of money and absolutely nothing to do.

I had never even thought about doing something that I'd never done before or proving anything.

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

It's always nice to anticipate working in something that you know people will have an appetite for.

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

I've always been somewhere down from the top, so I've never had to suffer being knocked off the top.

It's very little trouble for me to accommodate my fans, unless I'm actually taking a pee at the time.

The only ambition I ever had going into and committing to wanting to be an actor was to live my life.

If you're going to define me properly, you must think in terms of my failures as well as my successes.

I continue to develop some things for myself and also take advantage of good parts as they come along.

I was completely unprepared for the public spectacle my private life became, and didn't like it a bit.

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

I don't do nostalgia. It just doesn't occur to me. I'm living in the moment, and I don't have that gene.

Really, what are the options? Levi's or Wranglers. And you just pick one. It's one of those life choices.

You keep on going until you get it as close to being right as the time and patience of others will allow.

Failures are inevitable. Unfortunately, in film they live for ever and they're 40 ft wide and 20 ft high.

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

Chadwick Boseman work as an actor, I think, is truly remarkable, and I had a great time working with him.

Never claim credit for anything. 'Cause you can't righteously do that. There's luck and grace and accident.

I think you have to be very careful with effects that they don't overpower the story with the visual element.

No one wants to see a hero have to pick up his cane to hit someone, but I'm still quite fit enough to fake it.

It's time to change the conversation about nature to focus on what we all have in common: our shared humanity.

I was always very grateful I was never hot. In the entire length of my career, I haven't been the most adored.

Baseball was a metaphor for America, both here and in terms of how it was understood by the rest of the world.

People need to see what's going on, and they have to be exposed to the mechanisms that can help make it right.

I found out that drama was a fascinating exercise as a way to get out of my self and into somebody else's head.

I was one of the few people who thought Star Wars was going to work, and I hadn't even seen any special effects.

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

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 hard about being an actor is being out of work. So, when you get a job - that part ain't hard at all.

I was never that much a focus of interest in my career. I'm aware of that now, which doesn't give me a lot of pleasure.

I don't like baseball movies. I like movies about moral courage and people who are indomitable and courageous and right.

My goal was just to work regularly. I didn't ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor.

I'm like a fireman. When I go out on a call, I want to put out a big fire, I don't want to put out a fire in a dumpster.

My ambition from the very beginning was to make a good part for myself, something differently to what lately I've been doing.

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.

Some actors couldn't figure out how to withstand the constant rejection. They couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
