More quotes by Robert Redford
Whenever there's chaos, there's ambiguity, and where there's ambiguity, there's fear. And fear gets manipulated.
Robert Redford
I have no regrets, because I've done everything I could to the best of my ability.
Robert Redford
I guess the optimistic thing is that those people in Congress who are climate deniers, I think their time has run out.
Robert Redford
What we are living with is the result of human choices and it can be changed by making better, wiser choices.
Robert Redford
When I grew up, shame was used as a tool for check and balance. If you stood a chance of hearing someone say, Shame on you, or You should be ashamed of yourself, you thought twice. It doesn't seem to be a factor today.
Robert Redford
Curiously, directing my own films have made me more tolerant and patient. I've always been an extremely impatient actor. Waiting around drove me nuts. But now I'm much more sympathetic to a director's struggle.
Robert Redford
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
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.
Robert Redford
Whereas money is a means to an end for a filmmaker, to the corporate mind money is the end. Right now, I think independent film is very confused, because there's excess pressure in the marketplace for entertainment to pay off.
Robert Redford
The meter is ticking [particularly in the face of climate change], so you've got to get to as much as you can as fast as you can. I grew up with 'This Land Is Our Land,' and public land doesn't belong to that administration or this one. We want our kids to grow up with real natural places, not just photos of them.
Robert Redford
I would see my hometown, Los Angeles, change. Green space and orange groves gave way to cement, freeways flooded with traffic, and air pollution, all in the name of progress. I felt like I was losing my home. It had a profound effect on me, and I realized just how important nature was to my spirit, my soul, my point of view.
Robert Redford
Other people have analysis. I have Utah.
Robert Redford
I am a cynical optimist. Big opening weekends are like cotton candy. The films you will remember over time are the films that stick in the consciousness of the audience in a good way.
Robert Redford
I never had to worry about divestment because I never invested.
Robert Redford
I'm not that interested in someone that one-dimensional, but I'm interested in playing somebody that's more complicated.
Robert Redford
I think quiet sometime is a greater power than noise. It can harbor and reveal feelings that can't be expressed.
Robert Redford
I don't think you can ever return, really.
Robert Redford
When I was a kid I was not a good student. I went to the University of Colarado, my grades were poor. I was asked to leave after a year. What I really wanted to do was to be an artist.
Robert Redford
I'm not interested in a film about golf but I am interested in golf as a metaphor.
Robert Redford
There's a lot of money to be made by strip-mining and drilling the dirtiest oil on the planet. But why should the rest of us pay the price?
