Robert Redford's quotes

[on his appearance in Havana (1990)] All everyone talked about was aging. It took me by surprise because I have not thought of myself that way. I assumed I would age naturally, as time went on.
As a director, I wouldn't like me as an actor. As an actor, I wouldn't like me as a director.
I am perhaps the best-looking grandfather around, apart from Marlon Brando, of course!
Some people have analysis. I have Utah.
[on refusing the role of Benjamin Braddock in The Graduate (1967), the role that made Dustin Hoffman a star seven years before Redford obtained super-star status himself] I never did look like a 21-year-old just out of college who'd never been laid.
by Robert Osborne, "Academy Awards 1974 Oscar Annual"] I used to feel competitive about a career, but now the only things I'm really passionate about are my family, the environment and Indians.
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.
[on his relationship with Paul Newman] When we made the movies nobody used the word "chemistry". Nobody used the word "bonding". It was just: "Get up there and do your job!"
[on his friendship with Paul Newman] There are certain friendships that are sometimes too good and too strong to talk about.
I've bought hundreds of acres around my home. That's why I moved here from the coast. There's plenty of room to roam and be alone with nature. That's living. The city life is merely existing.
I often feel I'll just opt out of this rat race and buy another hunk of Utah.
A lot of what acting is, is paying attention.
All my life I've been dogged by guilt because I feel there is this difference between the way I look and the way I feel inside.
[during his opening-night address at the Sundance Film Festival, claiming U.S. politicians exploited public support of invasions] We put all our concerns on hold to let the leaders lead. I think we're owed a big, massive apology.
[1972 comment on Paul Newman] Paul is the most generous man with whom I've ever worked. We had a fantastic rapport shooting [Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)]. It was one of the happiest experiences of my life.
[on working with Dustin Hoffman on All the President's Men (1976)] One of the joys of the movie was working with Dustin; he has one of the most wonderful acting minds I've ever worked with.
They throw that word "star" at you loosely, and they take it away equally loosely. You take the responsibility for their crappy movie, that's what that means.
[on the death of longtime friend Paul Newman] I have lost a real friend. My life--and this country--is better for his being in it.
Storytellers broaden our minds: engage, provoke, inspire, and ultimately, connect us.
[on filming All Is Lost (2013)] It was a bold and pure cinematic experience. It was stripped to the bone and I found that very appealing.. Being wet all day was the hardest thing. You get depressed being wet all the time.
