More quotes by Robert Redford
I didn't think about politics until I came to Europe.
Robert Redford
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.
Robert Redford
I had just arrived in New York from California. I was nineteen years old and excited beyond belief. I was an art student and an acting student and behaved as most young actors did - meaning that there was no such thing as a good actor, 'cause you yourself hadn't shown up yet.
Robert Redford
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
The technology available for film-making now is incredible, but I am a big believer that it's all in the story.
Robert Redford
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
I'm always moving forward and trying new things.
Robert Redford
I was producing things I was acting in, but I had never directed and I felt it was time. I was looking for a piece of material that was about behavior and feelings. When I read Judith Guest's book, I thought, This is it.
Robert Redford
When did Noah build the boat? - Before the rain.
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
It's an honor putting art above politics. Politics can be seductive in terms of things reductive to the soul.
Robert Redford
I think documentary filmmakers need as much protection as possible under journalist's privilege. How else is the public to know what is going on?
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
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
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
Ambiguity is something that I really respond to. I like the complexity of 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
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 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.
Robert Redford
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?
Robert Redford
