I don't mind playing older characters. I find it interesting. There are parts I couldn't have got when I was 30 years old. So, it continues to interest me in the same way that it always did.
I think people only have so much interest in anybody, and if you barrage them in between the times you have something to offer them you become a personality rather than an actor - much more short-lived. I only work once a year. And that's enough.
I don't do stunts - I do running, jumping and falling down. After 25 years I know exactly what I'm doing.
I think American films right now are suffering from an excess of scale. Lots of movies we're seeing now are more akin to video games than stories about human life and relationships. Twelve- to 20-year-olds are maybe the largest economic force in the US movie business. I'm not a very nostalgic person - but I enjoy a good story.
Harrison Ford may be getting old, but he can fight like a 28 year old man.
It's not the years honey, it's the mileage.
I just don't think of age and time in respect of years. I have too much experience of people in their seventies who are vigorous and useful and people who are thirty-five who are in lousy physical shape and can't think straight. I don't think age has that much to do with it.
I enjoyed carpentry, and it was very good to me for 12 years.
Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy.
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?'
The set for 'Blade Runner' was maybe the hardest set I've ever worked on because I think we worked 50 nights in a row, and it was always raining.
We're all interconnected. For example, a simple lack of fresh water can lead to population dislocation, which can lead to political radicalization, which can lead to great pressure on the states that receive refugees because of a migrating population.
It's very little trouble for me to accomodate my fans, unless I'm actually taking a pee at the time.
Wonderful girl. Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her.
