Nixon was a good president on the environment. Gerald Ford was good.
I have three makeup brands that I couldn’t live without – Tom Ford, Nars and Laura Mercier.
Frank Capra was a prop man, I think. John Ford was a prop man. It was a little bit of a father and son thing, and you kind of worked your way up.
Now, if most Americans want to go out and buy a car, they don’t say, you know, ‘I think I’ll call the chairman of the board of Ford Motor Company and see what kind of deal we can make here.’
Movies I liked growing up were like Francis Ford Coppolla movies and Scorsese movies.
Parodies came about because Mr. Ford was actually one of the better athletes of our presidents… but he continually had physical accidents… he was an easy target for me. The main idea was to get people laughing.
If I want to do a contour, Tom Ford’s Shade and Illuminate is great. It also feels really nice on the skin and looks really natural.
Being first lady is a full-time job. Betty Ford worked full time and should have received a salary. Michelle Obama works full time and should be paid.
I’m really into the Tom Ford lipsticks. I was always afraid to wear lip color because I thought it made me look too masculine, but my makeup artist Fiona Stiles got me into wearing coral, orange-y colors from his line, and now I wear lipstick all of the time.
I love Tom Ford. I love Harrison Ford, too.
When Henry Ford made cheap, reliable cars people said, ‘Nah, what’s wrong with a horse?’ That was a huge bet he made, and it worked.
I had always loved John Ford’s pictures. And I came to love him, too, but I was frightened to death working for him. He used the shock treatment while directing me.
In the movies, every crazy old fart needs a cool old car. Jack Nicholson drove a spiffy yellow 1970 Dodge Challenger two-door in ‘The Bucket List.’ In ‘Gran Torino,’ the cranky pensioner played by Clint Eastwood not only owned a 1972 GT Sport, he also used to build cars like that at the Ford plant.
Honestly, the All In women’s locker room was such an inspirational group of women. What I love about all the women involved – Chelsea, Britt, Madison, Jordynne Grace, Brandi Rhodes, Tenille Dashwood, Penelope Ford, Mandy Leon – is we all bring something so different to the table for a common vision.
Cheyenne Autumn was received not too successfully. I still think it was a very good movie. It was kinda Ford’s apology for the way he had treated Indians in his past pictures.
When How Green Was My Valley finally wrapped, I thought John Ford was a walking god.
When I was 8, I thought I was Harrison Ford, Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor, Elvis, and Chuck Norris all at once.
Once Michigan stood proud. In addition to GM, Ford and Chrysler, it was home base for the United Auto Workers, a powerful escalator transporting hundreds of thousands of blue-collar workers into America’s middle class.
We should not forget what it felt like to watch Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testify, and what it meant to so many of us.
Both Boeing and Ford are absolutely committed to safe and efficient transportation.
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.
I was driving to school at Reseda High School – I was a junior, and it was early 1956. I had a ’49 Ford. I was listening to the country station, and ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ comes on… It didn’t sound like the stuff I was hearing on the pop stations.
Harrison Ford… I love him. He’s a man’s man.
I wear Tom Ford Traceless Foundation.
When I joined Ford, in the late 1970s, I felt strongly we could not forever be a huge user of natural resources without there being consequences. But I was alone in my thinking in those days.
Harrison Ford comes on set, and he’s very polite and says, ‘Hello’ to everyone. He cares about everything that’s going on, on set. He cares about what’s going on with your character and what’s in the scene and what’s on the desk.
When you try to battle with John Ford, you have to give in.
Me and my step-dad shared a $500 Chevy Celebrity, a 1983 Dodge Ram truck, and an old Ford Ranger truck – it was a piece of junk. I hated that thing. It fell apart. It didn’t always go in reverse. So I drove in a circle or I would just get somebody to sit in the thing and I would push it backward.
One of the things I really like about Ford’s films is how there is always a focus on the way characters live, and not just the male heroes.
The difference was you worked for Nixon, and with Ford.
I don’t remember a big fight between the Republicans and Democrats in the Nixon administration or President Gerald Ford and so on.
My dream was to go to Nashville. I had my sights set on my dream. I used to have an ’89 Toyota Ford truck. On the front of the truck, I had this license plate with cowboy boots and a guitar that I had airbrushed at Wal-Mart. It said ‘Chasin’ A Dream.’ That was kind of my motto.
There’s a Ford dealer in every city around the United States. They’re the fabric of the community. They’re either head of the chamber of commerce or the priest, or I mean they’re just the fabric of America, and they took care of us.
Performing the American Music Awards and having Harrison Ford introduce you behind the John Williams orchestra for Star Wars, and then Meghan Trainor is in the front just standing up and like, ‘I love you guys!’ That was a huge moment.
I am a Ford, not a Lincoln.
Driving a Model T Ford was extremely difficult. The pedals are reversed from the way they are now. It’s so crude, but that was the motorcar that started it all. It’s an incredible part of history.
I’m very silly as a person, but quality silliness on-screen has more of an art to it. Harrison Ford, whom I was in ‘Morning Glory’ with, has mastered that dry funny better than anyone.
I think over the course of 14 films, I’m returning to a place that I know to tell a story… the same way Spielberg returned to fantasy, Lucas returned to the ‘Star Wars’ saga, or John Ford returned to the western.
The Ford family wants the company to succeed. Period.
When I was working with Tom Ford, he would just look at me and ask, ‘Will you wear it?’ I’d say, ‘Ah, too long, too short, lower waist, deeper V, unbutton’ – that sort of thing. I don’t create clothes, but I definitely know how to make them come alive.
Well, as you know, General Motors does not make hybrids. Ford only made 4,000 hybrids last year.
I always carry a Tom Ford lipstick and Tachta face blotters to get me through the day.
If you think about jeans or phones or television, we are used to new brands popping up right and left. But in the car industry, we grew up with Mercedes, BMW, General Motors, and Ford, and nobody can remember during his or her upbringing a new car brand coming to life.
If I could have anything, I would probably get an old Ford F-150 from the ’70s.
Sir Rosevelt is a little more of a persona, and we dress up, three-piece Tom Ford suits, and it’s a little more refined, visually.
Why pay $20 million to Harrison Ford? I don’t even understand that. They think they have to do it… If someone puts a price on himself, that suggests he is irreplaceable, then he better find somewhere else to work.
We’ve always loved the automobile, and we all love Henry Ford’s original vision to open the highways to all mankind, the freedom and movement.
Indiana Jones is old school; we’ve moved on from Indy. Sorry, Harrison Ford.
My dad’s first-ever real true job was at Ford Motor Company. He was a UAW member.
Ford is such an answered prayer and an absolute blessing.
I grew up in Hollywood. Saying my name here is like mentioning Ford in Detroit.
When I was younger, all my friends were older – John Ford, Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant. I loved talking to those people.
People have asked me, ‘Is it about Apple or is it about Jobs?’ and I say it’s about how a man becomes his company and the company becomes the man. That has only happened a few times, like it happened with Ford, I think, they became inextricably linked together.
The first day of ‘Liberty,’ I was hanging around waiting for Ford to come in. Everybody told me how tough he was and not to say anything, or he’d single you out and get on you the whole shoot. But as he walked in, I got up and saluted him.
The person I liked the best was Gerald R. Ford. He was the most decent man in politics I ever had any relationships with.
The automotive corporations, including Ford, I think are in the business of trying to make cars that people will drive.
Great innovators like Thomas Alva Edison, Henry Ford, and Andrew Carnegie didn’t rely on government. There was hardly any of it in those days. More recently, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Larry Ellison used genius to put brand-new ideas into production.
At Ford Motor Company, we believe the arts speak a common language that weaves a common thread among all people.
My mental analogy for TalkTalk is an ageing Ford Cortina going flat out in the fast lane of the M4 in the pouring rain. We are always hammering along faster than anybody thinks is sensible, with things not quite working, but huge enthusiasm.
It’s just cool to have lunch with Harrison Ford.
