My older kids are fantastic people. It can't be the result of my influence on them.

I don't want to be a movie star. I want to be in movies that are stars.

Money is really only important if you don't have any.

The job's always the same. It involves helping to tell the story and creating an alloy between character and story that serves the film.

It doesn't interest me to be Harrison Ford. It interests me to be Mike Pomeroy and Indiana Jones and Jack Ryan. I don't want to be in the Harrison Ford business. I take what I do seriously, but I don't take myself seriously.

Because the character is a fiction, he's a composite of other contributors to the science that brought this enzyme therapy through the process. We had the opportunity to make him up out of those things that helped tell the story. We wanted to create both ally and antagonist for John [in the Extraordinary measures].

Hell of a thing when a man's got good health, plenty of money and absolutely nothing to do.
