Harrison Ford doesn't hold back his opinion and therefore, has a lot of quotes floating around. Harrison Ford is a legend that has played some of the biggest characters in cinema history. His best quotes are about the characters he has portrayed, bad times to ask for an autograph and on changes in his life. Here are Harrison Ford's top ten best quotes and sayings.
Death to Han Salo
"It's a little-known fact, but I wanted Han Solo to die at the end of 'Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi'. I thought it would give more weight and resonance. But George Lucas wasn't sympathetic. He didn't want me killed by those teddy bear guys."
Let it burn
"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."
Harrison Ford quote on stunts
"I don't do stunts - I do running, jumping and falling down. After 25 years I know exactly what I'm doing."
Isn't he romantic?
"It was just part of the continuum of the relationship...I don't know if I ever proposed to her." (on his marriage to Melissa Mathison)
On the perception of him being grumpy
"I think I did have a reputation for being grumpy. I don't think I'm grumpy. I have opinions. I have an independent vision. I am a purposeful person. But on a daily basis, I think I'm other than grumpy. I think it is a case where I am coming to do business and not there just to be flattered and cajoled and used."
Why he choose to be an actor
"Failure in all other fields."
His thoughts on the Indiana Jones get-up
"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."
Harrison Ford quote on changing for the better
"I am not the first man who wanted to make changes in his life at 60 and I won't be the last. It is just that others can do it with anonymity. I was interested in changing my life. I have always had the ability to change and become other people through my acting. I took a good look at myself and decided I wanted something different from the way I was living. That's not such a bad thing, is it? But, because of my past, I think it took a lot of people by surprise. They wondered what was happening to me. I was very much aware of what was happening. I'm living the way I want to live."
What kind of jerk says no to an autograph when...
"It's very little trouble for me to accommodate my fans, unless I'm actually taking a pee at the time."
Another not-so-good time to ask for Harrison Ford's signature
"If people recognize me when I'm out in public, I'm very nice to them. I'm very nice to people even when they don't recognize me. I don't even mind if people come up to me while I'm eating dinner, but if they recognize me while I'm having sex, I refuse to sign autographs." |
