I was completely unprepared for the public spectacle my private life became, and didn't like it a bit.
The only ambition I ever had going into and committing to wanting to be an actor was to live my life.
The loss of anonymity is something that nobody can prepare you for. When it happened, I recognized that I'd lost one of the most valuable things in life. To this day, I'm not all that happy about it
I wanted to live the life, a different life. I didn't want to go to the same place every day and see the same people and do the same job. I wanted interesting challenges.
'Years of Living Dangerously' is a wonderful opportunity to reach a lot of people with the story and importance of climate change in our lives; in recent history, there's no bigger threat to the quality of human life than what is taking place right now in respect of climate change.
I think 'Indiana Jones' was a lot of fun to do because of the places we went to and the adventures and the action. But Han Solo was also a huge part of my life.
The original 'Star Wars' that I was a part of really was the beginning of my working life.
It's very little trouble for me to accomodate my fans, unless I'm actually taking a pee at the time.
What amuses me most about Skip is he often represents everyone in the deal, ... And, he does a really good job for everybody ? I've always walked away from every negotiation and thought, 'Jesus, how did he get that?'
YAHOOOOO! You're all clear, kid. Now let's blow this thing and go home.
Wonderful girl. Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her.
Being happy is something you have to learn. I often surprise myself by saying "Wow, this is it. I guess I'm happy. I got a home I love. A career that I love. I'm even feeling more and more at peace with myself." If there's something else to happiness, let me know. I'm ambitious for that, too.
I had never even thought about doing something that I'd never done before or proving anything.
The best movies are made from a point of view of an understanding of human nature and an understanding of history and an understanding of what motivates people, of what makes a good movie from an emotional place.
