RIP William Goldman, screenwriter of #ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid
“I remember the experience of the film coming out. I was kind of surprised by the success it had. It moved into a whole social strata in our society.”~Robert Redford
Paul was a method actor who loved 2 worry the character out. Bob's working style on the other hand was 'let's get it over with.' Bob didn't want 2 analyze & George [Roy Hill, dir] was delighted 4 that cut & thrust that helped keep things moving fast."~David Ward, writer #TheSting
"Sydney had never made a film that moved as fast as a moving train and looked so tense. It was a new style of work for him, and it set the bar for all his later thrillers."~Robert Redford on Sydney Pollack's stunning direction of #ThreeDaysOfTheCondor
"When I look at the festival I don't look at the infrastructure or anything like that. I just look at the people who are coming to see films that might not have ever been able to be seen."~Robert Redford on the Sundance Film Festival
"It’s very upbeat. We’re living in dark times. These are really dark times we’re surrounded by, and I thought it would be nice to do something upbeat, something positive that might put a smile on your face, you hope.”~Robert Redford on #TheOldManAndTheGun premiering 9/28/18
"I loved working with Barbra. Everybody warned me, 'Oh, Streisand, she’s a pain in the ass.' I said, 'Well, I’m not going to judge her before but I think she’s talented.' I met her & I liked her. She was a joy to work with & I loved making that film."~Robert Redford #TheWayWeWere
"I really don't think of 'retirement,' because to me retirement means stopping something or quitting something. There's this life to lead. Why not live it as much as you can as long as you can?" ~Robert Redford
"In terms of what's going on right now and a lot of people being fearful...you want to look for where the light is going to come."~Robert Redford at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival
"He tells the worst jokes in the world, and that would be okay if he didn't just keep repeating them over and over again." ~Robert Redford on Paul Newman
"I had to take a very deep breath and do some meditating and yoga before I shot scenes with him… because it was Robert Redford. [Laughs.] It was! Oh, dear, oh, dear. I can STILL feel it…"~Mary McDonnell #Sneakers
“I want to lean into all the baggage he brings w/ him as Robert Redford & allow him to act & play a character but also not shy away from embracing who he is. To some extent I want this movie to be a tribute 2 him.”~David Lowery, writer/director of the upcoming #TheOldManAndTheGun
Happy Birthday, Meryl Streep!
“Farewell, farewell! but this I tell
To thee, thou Wedding Guest!
He prayeth well, who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast."~Robert Redford as Denys Finch Hatton reciting lines from Coleridge's 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' in #OutOfAfrica
"#SpyGame ultimately belongs to Redford who plays Muir with the subliminal sarcastic squint of an undercover Donald Rumsfeld. This this may be the first time that he has used his rugged, handsome creases as a key thematic point in his acting."~@OwenGleiberman
“There’s no such thing as continuity if you’re an actor because you don’t know what the next day is going to bring. You don’t know what to expect, you just hope what you do lands with the public, enough where you’ll do it again.” ~Robert Redford
"Redford embodies the best part of the contradiction of America. He's a man who's very much not what he seems. He looks like a golden boy but actually is a dark, complex character."~Sydney Pollack
