Robert Redford Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You can’t completely control the sport - Tiger Woods comes close. The test is against yourself and nature’s own way. I find golf a particularly good metaphor for this story Picture Quote #1

When I was younger I saw a movie called ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ with Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Those two actors and that movie was my inspiration to want to be an actor Picture Quote #1

I auditioned for Robert Redford once and I was so starstruck I couldn’t even speak. I had a mic wire at a screen test clipped to me and then I got kind of nervous and I paced in a circle and then took a step and tripped and fell on my face. You just have to forgive yourself and keep going on Picture Quote #1

I’m thinking, this is Robert Redford. You know, he’s won an Academy Award, he’s talking to me about directing a movie he’s in. So you just think that it’s Hollywood stuff or whatever Picture Quote #1

This is the man my mother lived for. My career means something now because I’ve worked with Robert Redford Picture Quote #1

Women are not forgiven for aging. Robert Redford’s lines of distinction are my old-age wrinkles Picture Quote #1

You know, I really wish now I’d had the nerve to become an actor. Because I’d have been Robert Redford, no question Picture Quote #1

I don’t see myself as beautiful. I was a kid who was freckle-faced, and they used to call me ‘hay head.’ Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, nobody told me I was good-looking. I wish they had. I would’ve had a better time Picture Quote #1

I have a lot of land. I bought it because I had a very strong feeling. I was in my early twenties, and I had grown up in Los Angeles and had seen that city slide off into the sea from the city I knew as a little kid. It lost its identity - suddenly there was cement everywhere and the green was gone and the air was bad - and I wanted out Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’ve been able to carve out spaces for myself. At Sundance, I’m in the mountains - my property is private. I get on a horse and ride for three, four hours. Sometimes five. I get lost. But when I’m in, I’m in Picture Quote #1

Journalism has changed tremendously because of the democratization of information. Anybody can put something up on the Internet. It’s harder and harder to find what the truth is Picture Quote #1

The big moment for me was making ‘All the President’s Men’. It was not about Watergate or President Nixon. I wanted to focus on something I thought not many people knew about: How do journalists get the story? Picture Quote #1

The world around us is in a sea change, and I think the glory of art is that it cannot only survive change, it can lead it Picture Quote #1

The way I deal with arthritis is to keep moving. As long as I can play hard tennis, as long as I can ski or ride a horse - all kinds of things can come your way. As long as you can, do it. People who retire die. My dad retired and died shortly after. Just keep moving Picture Quote #1

Now is not the time to repudiate environmental balance, but rather it is the time for all of us to work together - politician, advocate, rancher, scientist, and citizen. Only by doing this will the United States move forward and be a leader in environmental issues and ensure sustainability to our delicate ecosystem Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

The big stars I felt a kinship with were never the romantic leads. It wasn’t Steve McQueen or Robert Redford - it was people like Walter Matthau and Anthony Quinn. My big hero was Tommy Cooper Picture Quote #1

It never ceases to surprise me, the people I get to work with. I’m in a French film with Sandrine Bonnaire? I adore Sandrine Bonnaire. I’m doing a picture for Robert Redford? The Sundance Kid? I have to pinch myself sometimes Picture Quote #1

It seems everyone in Hollywood is getting pinched, lifted and pulled. I’m looking weird because I’m not Picture Quote #1

Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, Sean Connery and Robert Redford, Mel Gibson - at least in the Road Warrior films - and Harrison Ford are among my favorite actors. Meryl Streep, Jane Fonda, Sally Field, Deborah Winger, Jessica Lange, and of course, Shirley MacLaine, are among the women Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’ve always wanted to try new things because it’s exciting and it keeps you active and alive Picture Quote #1

The way you really find out about the performer’s seriousness about the cause is how long they stay with it when the spotlight gets turned off. You see a lot of celebrities switch gears. They go from the environment to animal rights to obesity or whatever. That I don’t have a lot of respect for Picture Quote #1

It’s an honor putting art above politics. Politics can be seductive in terms of things reductive to the soul Picture Quote #1

Robert Redford, ha ha! He’s a very attractive man and I’m not. Or Noel Edmonds, as he’s a friend of mine and knows me well Picture Quote #1
