I don't know what was in his mind, but I do know Ford was stricken by what he had done, by hitting me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ford didn't know what to do with Mister Roberts that wasn't repeating what was successful in New York. He was trying to do things to the play that would be his in the film.
The fact was, Ford kept stumbling around. I didn't want him in the White House. I wanted Carter in, and I had a forum of 20 million people watching.
It has to do with the fact that Ford, for all his greatness, is an Irish egomaniac, as anyone who knows him will say.
I always felt Harrison Ford looked like he's about to shoot himself when he's carrying his own gun. He always looked afraid; he's not just this tough guy, you know?
In Gerald Ford, the man he was in public, he was also that man in private.
Anthony Johnson hits harder than any other person, no doubt. Every time he hit me, it made me kind of, like, fly all over the place. He was trying to take my head off.
Thoughts would go in and out of my mind, but I didn't want to believe that he could have done it.
It's hard not to think of Jack Ford when you're making a Western. Hard not to think of him when you're making any picture.
Ford was warm and friendly. He wouldn't embarrass a Cabinet member.
Gerald Ford brought to the political arena no demons, no hidden agenda, no hit list or acts of vengeance. He knew who he was, and he didn't require consultants or gurus to change him.
