I'm not good at compromise.
Robert Redford
Image
I don't remember spending any time with anybody on set. I don't spend a lot of time with people.
Robert Redford
Image
I am passionate. I am political about my country, about what it is, how strong it is, how strong it remains.
Robert Redford
Image
People are becoming more and more aware of how the dominance of development and business is altering their lives and, in particular, their own heritage.

Image
I don't know what your childhood was like, but we didn't have much money. We'd go to a movie on a Saturday night, then on Wednesday night my parents would walk us over to the library. It was such a big deal, to go in and get my own book.

He has the attention span of a lightning bolt.

Image
You work like hell to get yourself ahead in the business. You could go anywhere before, and suddenly you can't go anywhere. It's like being a cartoon character.

Image
It's good to say, 'Look, I can't always be right, but my gut tells me this' - and then you confirm with your gut.

Part of me is drawn to the nature of sadness because I think life is sad, and sadness is not something that should be avoided or denied. It's a fact of life, like contradictions are.

For me, personally, skiing holds everything. I used to race cars, but skiing is a step beyond that. It removes the machinery and puts you one step closer to the elements. And it's a complete physical expression of freedom.

'Butch Cassidy' was the only film I ever enjoyed making.

Sometimes the failures can be exciting and fun. It's just a step on the road, it's not the end of something.
Robert Redford
Image
I have no regrets, because I've done everything I could to the best of my ability.
Robert Redford
Image
Ambiguity is something that I really respond to. I like the complexity of it.
Robert Redford
Image
We've poisoned the air, the water, and the land. In our passion to control nature, things have gone out of control. Progress from now on has to mean something different. We're running out of resources and we are running out of time.
Robert Redford
Image
We've lost our moral foundation, which allows us to go this far over. So I don't blame Trump. I just think he is what he is. We're the ones who let that happen. We should be looking at ourselves.
Robert Redford

I have a lot of land. I bought it because I had a very strong feeling. I was in my early twenties, and I had grown up in Los Angeles and had seen that city slide off into the sea from the city I knew as a little kid. It lost its identity - suddenly there was cement everywhere and the green was gone and the air was bad - and I wanted out.

I never had to worry about divestment because I never invested.

Politics right now is in a very dark place, and I think the only place for me is to do what I do - make films, create art, watch it as it evolves. Right now it's like Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall, and a great fall is happening. The behavior seems to be really dumb.
