I was 35 when I first hit with Star Wars. I had some degree of maturity and some degree of experience, yet physically I still looked young. That had been an impediment early on in my career, but then it turned out to be an advantage.

I was one of the few people who thought Star Wars was going to work, and I hadn't even seen any special effects.

People need to see what's going on, and they have to be exposed to the mechanisms that can help make it right.

[After playing Indiana Jones and Han Solo] hero image concerns me a little, though not for my sake. All it means to me is that I have a responsibility not to get caught doing anything terrible and thereby jeopardise my credentials. Not that I do terrible things, like running over dogs or anything like that. It just makes you think twice before you say or do things in public.

Our health relies entirely on the vitality of our fellow species on Earth.

I've never been bothered by proximity to special effects and I've never felt disadvantaged by them. They're all part of a movie, and when the movie's under control I don't feel upstaged by them.

I never feel sexy. I have a distant relationship with the mirror.
