I play a female Indiana Jones, a professor who hunts down precious objects, like a bowl that belonged to the Buddha. They tailored the role to me: I wanted to be smart, funny, and to kick some ass.

Like Indiana Jones, I don't like snakes - though that might lead some to ask why I'm in politics.

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

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

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

Some kids spent their allowance going to see 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'; I spent mine on a great-looking lamp I'd found at the flea market and a ceramic bowl from a neighborhood garage sale.
