Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played - skiing, baseball, fishing - there is no greater example than golf, because you're playing against yourself and nature.

More quotes by 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 enjoyed working with Dustin Hoffman. That was really fun. He decided that to really be effective as Woodward and Bernstein, considering their differences, we should spend some time together. Because Dustin and I were very different.
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
In fact, I think more broadly about what an audience requires, but I want an audience to be fascinated by the process of finding an answer, or finding out there isn't one.
Robert Redford
I remember my dad came from Ireland and Scotland, and so he carried with him the fear of poverty. So when I wanted to break loose, it kind of made him very nervous.
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
I have no regrets, because I've done everything I could to the best of my ability.
Robert Redford
I've been able to carve out spaces for myself. At Sundance, I'm in the mountains - my property is private. I get on a horse and ride for three, four hours. Sometimes five. I get lost. But when I'm in, I'm in.
Robert Redford
Sundance was started as a mechanism for the discovery of new voices and new talent.
Robert Redford
When did Noah build the boat? - Before the rain.
Robert Redford
Ambiguity is something that I really respond to. I like the complexity of it.
Robert Redford
I'm not interested in a film about golf but I am interested in golf as a metaphor.
Robert Redford
Storytelling was a way to see the world bigger than the one you were looking at, and that had great appeal for me. I think since that was part of my upbringing, it became part of me, and I wanted to pass it along to my kids and my grandkids.
Robert Redford
The technology available for film-making now is incredible, but I am a big believer that it's all in the story.
Robert Redford
I never had to worry about divestment because I never invested.
Robert Redford
He has the attention span of a lightning bolt.
Robert Redford
Ideas aren't real estate, they grow collectively and that knocks out the egotistical loneliness that generally infects art.
Robert Redford
Problems can become opportunities when the right people come together.
Robert Redford
The mainstream usually follows trends, it seldom sets them except for a few films.
Robert Redford
I don't see myself as beautiful. I was a kid who was freckle-faced, and they used to call me 'hay head.'
Robert Redford
