Best quote from the interview: "I don't think the executives ever stopped thinking of me in terms of action-adventures. But I kept turning them down because of their overweening violence or because they lacked ambition. I wanted to deal with ideas within the context of action."

Featured in: Clear and Present Danger.

Best quote from the interview: On Clear and Present Danger author Tom Clancy: "I think [Clancy's criticism] did hurt the film. I don't think it should have. It's inevitable that a book changes in bringing it to the screen. It's generally accepted by those professionals that have had some experience with the process. And if one doesn't want to submit to the process, the simple expedient is not to sell your stuff."

Awards to his name: One Oscar nomination, four Golden Globe nominations, and one BAFTA nomination.

Featured in: The DVD release of the Star Wars trilogy.

Best quote from the interview: Revealed with the release of the new DVDs, on the possibility of killing off Han Solo: "I thought he ought to sacrifice himself for the other two characters."

Best quote from the interview: On Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, writer Chris Nashawaty writes, "The movie's funniest scene came about by accident.

Featured in: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Best quote from the interview: "That's one of the things I was most keen about... Just acknowledge the years, without reservation. What's the big deal? The guy's 18, 20 years older. So what?... Yeah, I've heard it, 'Aaaaw, he's older.' Well, s---, yes. And by the way? So are you. So...are...you! Take a look in the f---ing mirror!"

Featured in: Cowboys & Aliens.

Best quote from the interview: "I've always wanted my characters to die. I thought Han Solo should have died at the end of the last Star Wars movie. Just because it seemed right for that character. But I would be happy to do another one."

Best quote from the interview: Director J.J. Abrams on the opportunity ahead of him: "Part of me? Thrilled. Part of me? Terrified. Most of me? Thrillified."

Best quote from the interview: "[Thirty-two] years is going to put some rings on the tree, some experience in the bank. You might make an elaborate conjecture [about who Solo is now], but I think we answer that question in the film. It's best left answered there."

Featured in: Blade Runner 2049

Best quote from the interview: [When asked if the film settles the question of whether Deckard is a replicant or not]: "I can tell you that it was a question that was of interest to me when we made the first film, and I'm not sure I ever got a straight answer from the people I was working with at that point. I think the answer to your question is worth the price of admission."
