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
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
Let's get something straight - I don't see myself as beautiful.
Robert Redford
He's meant to be that classic Homer, Ulysses, Hercules - a character who goes out or has some gift of some kind. He goes on a journey of discovery and part of that is falling into darkness - the temptations of life.
Robert Redford
People are becoming more and more aware of how the dominance of development and business is altering their lives and, in particular, their own heritage.
Robert Redford
As an artist I just can't think of a better life than the one I've been blessed with. It's just a great ride.

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.

Have a strong vision about the story you want to tell and how you want to tell it.
Robert Redford
It seems everyone in Hollywood is getting pinched, lifted and pulled. I'm looking weird because I'm not.
Robert Redford
Problems can become opportunities when the right people come together.
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
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
Whereas money is a means to an end for a filmmaker, to the corporate mind money is the end. Right now, I think independent film is very confused, because there's excess pressure in the marketplace for entertainment to pay off.
Robert Redford
I'm not a facelift person. I am what I am.
Robert Redford
Lastly get emotionally connected to your story so you can deliver it, you know, if you can't deliver the emotions to your script there's no point to your story. Story is the key.

When did Noah build the boat? - Before the rain.
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
Ideas aren't real estate, they grow collectively and that knocks out the egotistical loneliness that generally infects art.
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
The mainstream usually follows trends, it seldom sets them except for a few films.
