Robert Redford Quotes

In fact you’ve got your hands tied behind your back when somebody chooses to take a low road in to you, there is nothing you can do about it, and so you just live with it and move on Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The technology available for film-making now is incredible, but I am a big believer that it’s all in the story Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m interested in that thing that happens where there’s a breaking point for some people and not for others. You go through such hardship, things that are almost impossibly difficult, and there’s no sign that it’s going to get any better, and that’s the point when people quit. But some don’t Picture Quote #1

I’m fascinated by journalism. I put a keen eye, not a negative eye, on its role, particularly how it is changed by the times we’re living in Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Usually I like to improvise. Sometimes, depending on the nature of the piece, I like to improvise because I think it brings certain freshness and a reality to it, as long as it doesn’t go too far out of the box Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It felt to me like America was always wanting to resolve things too quickly, without thinking through what the costs and consequences would be and how that affects an individual living in that world.
