Robert Redford Filmography

• On his appearance in HAVANA: "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 hate myself as an actor and as an actor I hate myself as a director."
• "Some people have analysis. I have Utah."
• "I am perhaps the best looking grandfather around, apart from Marlon Brando of course!"
• "Ideas aren't real estate, they grow collectively and that knocks out the egotistical loneliness that generally infects art."
• "If you stay in Beverly Hills too long you become a Mercedes."
• "A lot of what acting is paying attention."
• "It seems everyone in Hollywood is getting pinched, lifted and pulled. I'm looking weird because I'm not."
• "I would go into life for a year. Go on the bum, so to speak."
• "Health food may be good for the conscience but Oreos taste a hell of a lot better."
• "Problems can become opportunities when the right people come together."
• "People have been so busy relating to how I look, it's a miracle I didn't become a self-conscious blob of protoplasm."
• "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?"
• "We’ve poisoned the air, the water, and the land. In our passion to control nature, things have gone out of control. Progress from now on has to mean something different. We’re running out of resources and we are running out of time"
