But, George and Steven asked me to write the Indiana Jones sequels, and I didn't want to.

It's both Indiana Jones and 'National Geographic' that inspired me to be an Egyptologist.

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.

If anything could have pulled me out of retirement, it would have been an Indiana Jones film.

I'd love to do another 'Indiana Jones.' A character that has a history and a potential, kind of a rollicking good movie ride for the audience, Steven Spielberg as a director - what's not to like?

'Indiana Jones' was me growing up. I could quote lines from 'Tango and Cash' as much as I could quote lines from 'The Searchers'.
