Rules of Life Robert Redford

Statements Hollywood legend, 77-year-old actor and director Robert Redford.

I always feel embarrassed when they show movies with my participation.

How can I do to think about the continuation of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"?The boys were killed at the end.What is, in your opinion, can be - a film about ghosts, or what?

Anyone who is now loves to shoot sequels, would do well to learn how to take a closer look of the originals.

Today, viewers need the film industry is much more than the film industry needs audiences.

I will not be an actor, I would be a baseball player.To amuse your ego.

When I was growing up I was obsessed with the sport.Everything said, no matter you win or lose;matter how you play.But I quickly realized that it was a lie.You can be the latest scum on the planet, but if you win, everything is forgotten.

Sport in general - a great metaphor for life.But of all the sports it is golf seems to me the most pure example, because in this game you are fighting against both ourselves and against nature.

Golf has become so perfect, right.Perfect grass on the perfect field.And I for one do not like a golf cart.Now you do not even allowed into some clubs, unless you have a golf cart or caddy (Assistant player inventory carrying him during the game. - Esquire).And I do not have neither one nor the other.I like to walk and do everything yourself.

I live in the mountains and two, three or four hours a day spend on a horse.In some days I can get lost, but I'm still happy.But sometimes I have to hang around in the office and answer any questions.I can hold out as a day or two, sometimes three, but then everything starts to annoy me - the car, the motorway, huge houses and out-of-control urban development.

I have a car, whose name is not worth to say, because I believe the defense of the environment.But the 550 Spyder Porsche in 1955 - this is the best sports car has ever done before.

I still like speed.Can I have breakfast at in Napa Valley, and then drive without stopping, 720 miles to have dinner at Salt Lake City.In general, I just like the movement.I get antsy when will not have to go.

I bought hundreds of acres of land around his house, and now I have enough space to feel at one with nature.Actually, this is life.What is happening in the city - rather, it is to exist.I grew up in Los Angeles, among the lower strata of the working class.Basically, it was the Latin Americans or Japanese, but I get along with all and know all.Here in the mountains, I really like what I do not know anyone around.

For me, there is nothing magic in the place where the rainbow rests on the Earth.I never really wanted to be a celebrity, and I never dreamed of Hollywood.I was there, you could say, was born.

As a director, I do not appreciate myself as an actor.As an actor I did not put that in himself as a director.

I would like to make films, and further, but with one condition: to do between them big enough breaks to enjoy life.

I expressed my attitude to the FBI in "Incident at Oglala" (documentary, 1992 shootout between FBI agents and fighters for Indian rights. - Esquire), I expressed my attitude to the CIA in "Three days of the Condor," and I madetheir attitude to the presidency in the movie "All the President's Men."I did everything I could, - revealed truth fashionable thing.

understand how seriously celebrities hold any opinion, very easily.See if they will agree to differ, when the studio lights go down and turn off the microphone.Most of the stars change their views as often as switching speed in the car.In today's show, they advocate animal rights, tomorrow - against obesity, even the day after tomorrow for something.That's why I have little respect for anyone really.

once excited me great career.But now I care about only three things: my family, the environment and the problems of the Indians.

I love westerns and hate it when someone says that it is an outdated genre, or run out of normal Indians, or any other nonsense.Western - it's part of American history, so that they will always be.

here, in my country, we did not know how to draw conclusions from the lessons that story over and over again gives us.

I grew up in a time when Nixon was the senator from California, and the governor was Earl Warren (the initiator of the premises in the camp lived in the United States to the beginning of World War II, the Japanese. - Esquire).But to a certain point, they just seemed to me boring guys in suits, who does not may interest me.Then, when I was twenty-something, I went to France to study art and Parisian radicals quickly have the right to my brain.I said, "How can you not be interested in US policy if you live in a powerful country?ยป

information everywhere today, so focus on something attention getting harder and harder.You must teach your brain to work faster, but it does not necessarily make you smarter.

Events in my childhood was a little bit, because the money we have almost was not.On Saturdays, parents took me to the movies, and on Wednesday - the library.And it was so important to me - to go into the building and take the book, which for a while became mine.

I turned down the role in "The Graduate" (1967 film that made famous Dustin Hoffman. - Esquire) because even in his youth was like a twenty-year college graduate who has never fucked.

To be a good actor, first and foremost you have to be observant.

women on the covers of magazines are too similar to be named.

There was one lady who in the late sixties I was obsessed.It haunted me here and there.In the end, she was detained and found in her purse a gun.Then - whether in the late eighties, whether in the early nineties - I was at some show at the "Egyptian Theatre" (one of the most famous theaters in Hollywood. - Esquire).There also came a guy from Tennessee with the sole purpose - to kill me.His twisted near the banks with a gun in his hand.He immediately confessed and said, "Well, you have me.I'm really would have killed him. "

Life is mostly sadness, and happiness - by chance appeared for a moment and immediately disappeared.So are extracted something from every moment.

Someone at a difficult time goes to a therapist.I'm going to Utah.

I was aboard a small private plane flying from Santa Fe in Santa Rosa when engine failure.Nine minutes later he could not run again.During those nine minutes, I experienced everything and went to the main question: what it will be like.But I never knew what it was like.Still not found.

Never stop at the sign that says: "Success."Do not stop!Click on the gas, click on the gas.

Even where you ride every day, you can always find a new way.

Cinema will, and who are the critics, no one will remember.

Humor, skill, intelligence, sexuality.In that order.
