Image
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 don't remember spending any time with anybody on set. I don't spend a lot of time with people.
Robert Redford
Image
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
Image
Have a strong vision about the story you want to tell and how you want to tell it.
Robert Redford
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It's an honor putting art above politics. Politics can be seductive in terms of things reductive to the soul.
Robert Redford
Image
Radio, newspapers, they were normal parts of my life. In those days, you had to go somewhere to watch television and leave something to see it.

You’re never going to be the same person you are right now.

Image
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.

Image
Let's get something straight - I don't see myself as beautiful.
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
We've lost our moral foundation, which allows us to go this far over. So I don't blame Trump. I just think he is what he is. We're the ones who let that happen. We should be looking at ourselves.
Robert Redford
Image
I guess the optimistic thing is that those people in Congress who are climate deniers, I think their time has run out.
Robert Redford
Image
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.

Image
I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?
Robert Redford
Image
I am passionate. I am political about my country, about what it is, how strong it is, how strong it remains.
Robert Redford
Image
I was seen in earlier years by family members and people of authority as somebody wasting his time. I had trouble with the restrictions of conformity. It made me edgy.

Image
I'm not interested in a film about golf but I am interested in golf as a metaphor.

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.
