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.

More quotes by Robert Redford
Water is the sleeping giant issue of the 21st century and we all need to wake up about it.
Robert Redford
I didn't think about politics until I came to Europe.
Robert Redford
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.
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
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.
Robert Redford
People are finally able to look around and say, 'I can see the drought, I can see the rising sea levels, I can see the crops dying. Okay, now I get it.' It is finally beginning to sink in that there has been a lot of damage.
Robert Redford
Let's get something straight - I don't see myself as beautiful.
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
God, I just love baseball.
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
The entertainment person gets a certain credibility, and the politician gets a certain notoriety. I'm against it.
Robert Redford
When did Noah build the boat? - Before the rain.
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
We program the festival, after 20 years, exactly the way we did on the first day.
Robert Redford
Sundance was started as a mechanism for the discovery of new voices and new talent.
Robert Redford
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
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
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 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
Usually I like to improvise. Sometimes, depending on the nature of the piece, I like to improvise because I think it brings a certain freshness and a reality to it, as long as it doesn't go too far out of the box.
Robert Redford
