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.

I had no expectation of the level of adulation that would come my way. I just wanted to make a living with a regular role in a television series.

I continue to develop some things for myself and also take advantage of good parts as they come along.

My occupation is assistant storyteller. It is not "icon."

For some directors, I'm the actor from hell.

I've always wanted to be bald. I mean it, completely bald. Wouldn't it be great to be bald in the rain?

I think I did have a reputation for being grumpy. I don't think I'm grumpy. I have opinions. I have an independent vision. I am a purposeful person. But on a daily basis, I think I'm other than grumpy. I think it is a case where I am coming to do business and not there just to be flattered and cajoled and used.
