I think quiet sometime is a greater power than noise. It can harbor and reveal feelings that can't be expressed.

More quotes by 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
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
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
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 can't go into a bar anywhere without someone starting to play 'the Entertainer'.
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
When I was a kid, nobody told me I was good-looking. I wish they had. I would've had a better time.
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
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
It seems everyone in Hollywood is getting pinched, lifted and pulled. I'm looking weird because I'm not.
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
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
Ambiguity is something that I really respond to. I like the complexity of it.
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 entertainment person gets a certain credibility, and the politician gets a certain notoriety. I'm against it.
Robert Redford
Sundance was started as a mechanism for the discovery of new voices and new talent.
Robert Redford
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.
Robert Redford
I've always wanted to try new things because it's exciting and it keeps you active and alive.
Robert Redford
Journalism has changed tremendously because of the democratization of information. Anybody can put something up on the Internet. It's harder and harder to find what the truth is.
Robert Redford
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.
Robert Redford
