00:00Nature doesn't need people. People need nature.
00:04Humanity cannot survive on this planet if we continued our behaviors.
00:30What amazes me is that I actually had the opportunity to do such a range of characters
00:52to work in a range of films like that. I'm very grateful for that.
00:58And I put that down to the people that I've had the good fortune to work with.
01:04They've had the guts and the courage to cast me in things.
01:09The originals of Star Wars that I was part of really was the beginning of my working
01:26life. I was very, very grateful for the opportunity that I had in that film and for the success
01:46of that film.
01:47Mr. Ford, who do you think women find more attractive, Han Solo or Indiana Jones?
01:51I don't know. I never liked Han Solo very much at all. I couldn't really understand
01:59why anybody else did.
02:00I'm always asked these kinds of questions about these two characters and I see no similarity
02:08between them.
02:38I've been on the board of Conservation International for 15 years and I have seen how conservation
02:47outcomes are scaled up when dedicated people from a variety of different sectors work together
02:56to pool their talents and their influence.
02:59I've seen that conservation only succeeds when local communities are consulted and engaged
03:06in the planning and delivery of conservation goals.
03:26I didn't come to aviation until quite late in my life. I flew a bit when I was in college
03:32but I couldn't afford it. Later on I became interested again in aviation. I was about
03:4052 years old and I wanted to learn something new. And I think in a way aviation helped
03:47me reinvent my life. I found a passion outside of the work that I do.
04:02Unfortunately, there is an obsession with celebrity. I think that's very damaging to
04:23the culture at large.
04:32I think that's very damaging to the culture at large.
05:03Do you want to take this opportunity to say anything?
05:12No, I don't. Thank you.
05:33You've taken your chances, made your mistakes, and now a final triumph.
05:41Indy!
05:42Give them hell, Indiana Jones!
