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.

More quotes by Robert Redford
I don't remember spending any time with anybody on set. I don't spend a lot of time with people.
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 think there was something that made us not pay attention to climate change. Something that was up there. There was a saying when we were trying to pay attention to the environment that people used this phrase NIMBY - not in my back yard. People were saying, ‘I don’t care, it is not in my back yard.’ But now it’s in everyone’s back yard.
Robert Redford
Let's get something straight - I don't see myself as beautiful.
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
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.
Robert Redford
I believe in mythology. I guess I share Joseph Campbell's notion that a culture or society without mythology would die, and we're close to that.
Robert Redford
Generally speaking, I went through that. I came to a place where I realised what true value was. It wasn't money. Money is a means to achieving an end, but it's not the end.
Robert Redford
There's a lot of hyperventilation that takes off before the [Sundance Film] Festival, a lot of buzz. Every year we hear, this is going to be the new this, this is going to be the new that, and it never is. The buzz just doesn't mean anything. I'm glad it doesn't. Because I think the festival shows that what succeeds is content.
Robert Redford
Whenever there's chaos, there's ambiguity, and where there's ambiguity, there's fear. And fear gets manipulated.
Robert Redford
I was blessed to look well and retain a youthful look but that was just genes. I was disappointed when critics started pointing out my wrinkles. I thought, you mean this is what it's gonna be about now? I'm not going to be permitted to be human?
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
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 can't go into a bar anywhere without someone starting to play 'the Entertainer'.
Robert Redford
The entertainment person gets a certain credibility, and the politician gets a certain notoriety. I'm against it.
Robert Redford
It seems everyone in Hollywood is getting pinched, lifted and pulled. I'm looking weird because I'm not.
Robert Redford
I am passionate. I am political about my country, about what it is, how strong it is, how strong it remains.
Robert Redford
Have a strong vision about the story you want to tell and how you want to tell it.
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
Problems can become opportunities when the right people come together.
