Harrison Ford Talks ’42,’ ‘Anchorman 2′ and What Matters to Him

So what about this business does Ford, for lack of a better word, give a shit about? “I give a shit about the work I do. I give a shit about my investment in something, how hard I work. I’ve said this before: This is a service occupation and you want to leave the impression that your customer, your audience, was not taken for granted.”

Ford certainly seems to be enjoying himself more and more these days, whether popping up in a cameo in “Bruno” or a David Blaine magic special. He took the role in “Anchorman 2,” despite the fact he hadn’t even seen the first film when he committed to its sequel. He explains his reasoning for taking the gig simply: “I was on my way somewhere and it in between and I thought, Why not? I’ve got nothing to lose, nothing to hide, and I thought it might be fun.”

There are directors Ford would love to work with—Spike Jonze and Derek Cianfrance come to mind—but at this point, Ford says it’s all about enjoying himself. “If acting was hard, I wouldn’t do it. I do because it’s fun,” he says. “That doesn’t mean that there’s not a lot of hard work but the actual acting part has always been pure fun for me.”
