    • (on doing action movies in his 60s) Harrison: I believe in training for injury prevention more than anything else," he explains. "I'm an old fart and I need to protect myself, so I trained quite a bit. I had an exercise trailer rigged for me, and I worked out every single day before going to work. And I was lucky enough not to become injured at all.
    • (on doing his own stunts for "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull") Harrison: I still do as many of my own stunts as possible. It's always been my ambition to allow the audience to feel the fear with Indy, instead of seeing a blur of action and the back of a stuntman's head. Indy is never digitally animated in the movie, we've kept the films' gritty sense of physical reality.
    • (Harrison has refused to help his children to become Hollywood stars) Harrison: ...they suffer from the belief that they have been helped along because a member of the family was successful. I can't work that way.
