Quote

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.

As an actor and as a person you come together with being in familiar territory although that has not been my whole life. That's been a part of it. I think a lot of people associate me with the west because of Sundance.

The mainstream usually follows trends, it seldom sets them except for a few films.

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.

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.

I'm not good at compromise.
Robert Redford

It's an honor putting art above politics. Politics can be seductive in terms of things reductive to the soul.

The technology available for film-making now is incredible, but I am a big believer that it's all in the story.

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.

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.

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?

I had just arrived in New York from California. I was nineteen years old and excited beyond belief. I was an art student and an acting student and behaved as most young actors did - meaning that there was no such thing as a good actor, 'cause you yourself hadn't shown up yet.

I am passionate. I am political about my country, about what it is, how strong it is, how strong it remains.

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.

I don't see myself as beautiful. I was a kid who was freckle-faced, and they used to call me 'hay head.'

I guess the optimistic thing is that those people in Congress who are climate deniers, I think their time has run out.

It's all about greed and money and it's the driving force in Hollywood.

He has the attention span of a lightning bolt.

If you could ever do a project that really has magic in it, and justifiable magic, you should do it.

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.

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.
