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.

More quotes by 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
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
I don't think you can ever return, really.
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
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
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
Between 18 and 19 years old [in the 1950s] I came to Paris. I studied art. And that experience really did change my life. I was living hand to mouth. I walked everywhere. I thought, this city is incredible but you really have to experience it by walking it.
Robert Redford
Because, you know, you're in Utah. And because of its political conservatism, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.
Robert Redford
You’re never going to be the same person you are right now.
Robert Redford
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.
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.
Robert Redford
He has the attention span of a lightning bolt.
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
The tough thing about adulthood is it starts before you even know it starts.
Robert Redford
I don't see myself as beautiful. I was a kid who was freckle-faced, and they used to call me 'hay head.'
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
I would see my hometown, Los Angeles, change. Green space and orange groves gave way to cement, freeways flooded with traffic, and air pollution, all in the name of progress. I felt like I was losing my home. It had a profound effect on me, and I realized just how important nature was to my spirit, my soul, my point of view.
Robert Redford
Any time I saw people treated unfairly because of race, creed, whatever - it struck a nerve.
Robert Redford
I was blessed to look well and retain a youthful look but that was just genes. I was disappointed when critics started pointing out my wrinkles. I thought, you mean this is what it's gonna be about now? I'm not going to be permitted to be human?
Robert Redford
I'm not interested in a film about golf but I am interested in golf as a metaphor.
