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.
You know how a woman gets a man excited? She shows up.
The only ambition I ever had going into and committing to wanting to be an actor was to live my life.
You may get real tired watching me, but I'm not going to quit.
I enjoyed carpentry, and it was very good to me for 12 years.
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Am I grumpy? I might be. But I think maybe sometimes it's misinterpreted.
I'm like old shoes. I've never been hip. I think the reason I'm still here is that I was never enough in fashion that I had to be replaced by something new.
It's important not to base your ambition on anybody else's history, but to figure out how best to use your own particular personality and understanding of yourself to help tell other people's stories.
For some directors, I'm the actor from hell.
Our health relies entirely on the vitality of our fellow species on Earth.
What's important is to be able to see yourself, I think, as having commonality with other people and not determine, because of your good luck, that everybody is less significant, less interesting, less important than you are.
With the CGI, suddenly there's a thousand enemies instead of six - the army goes off into the horizon. You don't need that. The audience loses its relationship with the threat on the screen. That's something that's consistently happening and it makes these movies like video games and that's a soulless enterprise. It's all kinetics without emotion.
All I would tell people is to hold onto what was individual about themselves, not to allow their ambition for success to cause them to try to imitate the success of others. You've got to find it on your own terms.
