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.

More quotes by Robert Redford
I never had to worry about divestment because I never invested.
Robert Redford
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.
Robert Redford
I'm not a facelift person. I am what I am.
Robert Redford
What we are living with is the result of human choices and it can be changed by making better, wiser choices.
Robert Redford
Ambiguity is something that I really respond to. I like the complexity of it.

There's a lot of money to be made by strip-mining and drilling the dirtiest oil on the planet. But why should the rest of us pay the price?
Robert Redford
I'm not good at compromise.
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
I'm always moving forward and trying new things.
Robert Redford
I didn't think about politics until I came to Europe.
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
Success is a tricky mistress. It's nice to have but it's a tricky thing to embrace.
Robert Redford
Problems can become opportunities when the right people come together.
Robert Redford
'Butch Cassidy' was the only film I ever enjoyed making.
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
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
I've always wanted to try new things because it's exciting and it keeps you active and alive.
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
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
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.
