Famous Harrison Ford Quotes

“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.”

Harrison Ford

“I just don't understand the need to name something "the best" or more better than something else.”

Harrison Ford

Barbara Walters interview
Context: I just don't understand the need to name something "the best" or more better than something else. Saying one thing is better than another, one performance is better than another performance — there can't be a contest in this area. I don't understand that.

“I don't think I have something that's pronounceable as a philosophy. … When it was fashionable to say, "May the Force be with you," I always said, "Force yourself." … I'll say again then, "The Force is within you. Force yourself."”
