More quotes by Robert Redford
Sometimes the failures can be exciting and fun. It's just a step on the road, it's not the end of something.
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
Part of me is drawn to the nature of sadness because I think life is sad, and sadness is not something that should be avoided or denied. It's a fact of life, like contradictions are.
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
It's a creative enterprise, just like art, just like painting, music. Creating something can be done in different categories, so to do it in film is just another expression, which is great. Because it translates so well because so many people see the work, if you're lucky.
Robert Redford
Success is a tricky mistress. It's nice to have but it's a tricky thing to embrace.
Robert Redford
The entertainment person gets a certain credibility, and the politician gets a certain notoriety. I'm against it.
Robert Redford
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
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
We program the festival, after 20 years, exactly the way we did on the first day.
Robert Redford
I don't remember spending any time with anybody on set. I don't spend a lot of time with people.
Robert Redford
Any time I saw people treated unfairly because of race, creed, whatever - it struck a nerve.
Robert Redford
From my experience in my country, America over and over again takes itself right to the brink, it puts one foot over but it never goes over. It wakes up at the last minute and says woah, and then pulls back...
Robert Redford
I have no regrets, because I've done everything I could to the best of my ability.
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
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
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 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
I guess the optimistic thing is that those people in Congress who are climate deniers, I think their time has run out.
