Quote

As an actor and as a person you come together with being in familiar territory although that has not been my whole life. That's been a part of it. I think a lot of people associate me with the west because of Sundance.

You should prepare when you go to a public event to be public. That's when I will sign autographs. But not when you're going about your normal business.
Robert Redford
Image
It's all about greed and money and it's the driving force in Hollywood.
Robert Redford
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.
Robert Redford
Image
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.

Image
The big moment for me was making 'All the President's Men'. It was not about Watergate or President Nixon. I wanted to focus on something I thought not many people knew about: How do journalists get the story?

Image
Between 18 and 19 years old [in the 1950s] I came to Paris. I studied art. And that experience really did change my life. I was living hand to mouth. I walked everywhere. I thought, this city is incredible but you really have to experience it by walking it.

Because, you know, you're in Utah. And because of its political conservatism, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

Image
The mainstream usually follows trends, it seldom sets them except for a few films.
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
So what if my face is falling apart? I don't give a damn. Anyway, it gives me character. Everyone thinks that they can stay pretty forever but some come out of Beverly Hills surgeries looking scary to me.
Robert Redford
Image
It's an honor putting art above politics. Politics can be seductive in terms of things reductive to the soul.
Robert Redford
Image
People are finally able to look around and say, 'I can see the drought, I can see the rising sea levels, I can see the crops dying. Okay, now I get it.' It is finally beginning to sink in that there has been a lot of damage.

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
Image
Whenever there's chaos, there's ambiguity, and where there's ambiguity, there's fear. And fear gets manipulated.
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
I don't see myself as beautiful. I was a kid who was freckle-faced, and they used to call me 'hay head.'

Television tells us only the things it wants to. It still feeds us heroes, it still offers villains. And even though we know better than to always trust it, we still watch.
Robert Redford
Image
I guess there are different ways to handle success. You can multiply it financially and use it to multiply your net worth. That's always been very appealing to me.

Image
God, I just love baseball.

What we are living with is the result of human choices and it can be changed by making better, wiser choices.
