Robert Redford quotes about
kids thinking world

I don't think you can ever return, really.

command dial event scandal sure
I'm not sure you can have an event like that anymore. When we made the film, as you can see, we had dial phones, there was no Internet, there was no cable, there was no computerization of our culture, and so one event like this -- one scandal -- could command that kind of attention.
gone great guy
God, it was great to play a guy like him, gone to seed, surly,
coming films normal
The film is very, very different from the normal kind of films that are coming out right now.
