Robert Redford quotes about
hard hear held journalism nixon opinion resigned wants
Nixon had already resigned and the held opinion (in Hollywood) was 'No one cares. No one wants to hear about this. And I said, 'No, it's not about Nixon. It's about something else. It's about investigative journalism and hard work.

This was made before 'Million Dollar Baby'... but this was put on the shelf for so long.
afterwards beyond coming guess morgan
Who would've thought? ... I didn't know anything about that film, and I don't think Morgan did, either, at the time. So that its coming afterwards - our film - I guess is just one of those circumstances that is beyond your control.

Curiously, directing my own films have made me more tolerant and patient. I've always been an extremely impatient actor. Waiting around drove me nuts. But now I'm much more sympathetic to a director's struggle.
nature thinking earth-day
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?

running culture heritage
Once you leave Sundance suddenly you run into bulldozers and concrete and cranes, and all that heritage that the Mormon culture used to be so proud of is turned into out of control develpoment.
moving ecosystems issues
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.
