On being asked whether he will ever retire, Ford told Variety, "No. That’s one of the things I thought was attractive about the job of an actor was that they need old people, too, to play old people’s parts."
Harrison Ford discusses Emmy nomination
Ford has been nominated in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards for his role as Dr Paul Rhoades in Shrinking.

"If you like it, you like it; if you don’t like it, look at something else," he said.
