Selected quotes
"I was worried that only acting with my voice and my face, I might not be able to communicate effectively enough to tell the story, but I was surprised to find that if I really concentrated, and just let the thoughts happen, that they would read on my face. With so many close-ups, I knew that my every thought would count."
"So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable."
Lucille Ball

(Vanity Fair magazine, July 1993)
"I never dropped acting. I merely took up carpentry [because it] allowed me to not take every acting job that came along to provide myself with an alternate income so that I could begin to reject episodic television guest-star shots. I thought I was beginning to wear out my face on episodic TV. I wanted to hold out for more ambitious kind of work. Of course, today there's a great deal more ambitious work in television than there was then."
(answer to why he took up carpentry, Mr. Showbiz Interview, October 1999)
"I got into it kind of sideways. I was a philosophy and English major in college and was failing my last year. I was looking for something to get my grade-point average up, and I saw a class called "Drama." My school didn't offer basket weaving, so I thought that was probably the next best thing. But I failed to note, in the class description, that it was required to get up and act something that just terrified me. I became interested in overcoming that lack of control over myself, which came from fear.
So my first ambition was to overcome the fear, and then I became involved in the process once that went away and began to enjoy I've always been a bit of a loner the society of people working on this kind of project. I found a way to commit to a character and lose my own concerns in it and became sort of not quite excited, but interested in the prospect of living many lives as an actor. I had this idea that you would work for a finite period of time with one group of people on one idea and then you'd go some place else and meet a new group of people and work on a new idea."
(answer to why he became an actor, Mr. Showbiz Interview, October 1999)
"When it was fashionable to say, 'May the Force be with you,' I always said, 'Force yourself'"..."'The Force is within you, force yourself'"
(Barbara Walters Oscar Special Interview, March 1997 on ABC Television)
"I never had any ambition other than to make a living as an actor. I didn't know how it would play out. I never thought I would be a leading man. I always thought I was a character actor."
(answer to what he thinks about being this era's top movie actor, Mr. Showbiz Interview, October 1999)
"I'm an assistant storyteller. It's like being a waiter or a gas-station attendant, but I'm waiting on six million people a week, if I'm lucky."
(remarked when asked what it is like to be Harrison Ford the actor)
"I don't do much. I play an hour of tennis with a pro, five or six days a week. That's all I do. I worked out for years, but I got bored. I'm pretty careful about what I eat, but I'm not obsessed. I'm lucky genetically, I guess...Lucky enough to keep making bone-crunching action movies halfway through your sixth decade. I'm quite comfortable with the reality of my age, and I don't feel old. I'll continue to do physical roles until it begins to hurt too much."
(answering that he is still in shape at his age and about being still fit enough to do action, E! Online Interview, July 1997)
"As a man, I've always felt Irish. And as an actor, I've always felt Jewish."
