133643. There is nowhere you can go and only be with people who are like you. Give it up. – Bernice Johnson Reagon

133667. It can even be a single note which defines the entire song. – Leon Redbone
133668. I’m sad and blue, about nobody but you. I told you that I loved you right from the start, you told me the same and now you try to break my little heart. – Leon Redbone
133669. I think of these things as obstacles rather than opportunities, because if they were opportunities it means I actually took the business of doing them seriously. To take myself too seriously is the gentle kiss of death. – Leon Redbone

133678. It was rehearsing in the studio, at which point they were setting up the sound, and once we’d got the thing together they’d actually record it, without us knowing sometimes! – Noel Redding
133679. Well, I’d had the Fat Mattress earlier as a writing outlet for songs and that. – Noel Redding

133702. In the ’50s, a lot of girls never saw beyond the wedding day. – Helen Reddy
133703. I’ve been in a serious conversation with one of my children, and a fan has come up. I’ve been in a public bathroom and had the hand come under the stall with a paper and pen. That sort of thing anybody can live without. – Helen Reddy

133726. Please don’t ask me any questions about the politics of 30 years ago. – Helen Reddy
133727. My audience is the baby-boomers, the bulk of the population. This is also a group that is being ignored by most record companies because they’re not the Top 40 hit singles market. They forget these people still listen to music. – Helen Reddy
133728. My audience are the same people who bought my albums years ago. These people are now married, with their own homes, their own families. If I’m in concert, I get people now who bring their kids. – Helen Reddy

133733. We made more money feeding molasses, urea, and corn cobs to cattle than we ever did feeding dent corn. – Orville Redenbacher

133744. It’s hard to pay attention these days because of multiple affects of the information technology nowadays. You tend to develop a faster, speedier mind, but I don’t think it’s necessarily broader or smarter. – Robert Redford

133749. Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played – skiing, baseball, fishing – there is no greater example than golf, because you’re playing against yourself and nature. – Robert Redford
133750. Sundance was started as a mechanism for the discovery of new voices and new talent. – Robert Redford

133753. Whereas money is a means to an end for a filmmaker, to the corporate mind money is the end. Right now, I think independent film is very confused, because there’s excess pressure in the marketplace for entertainment to pay off. – Robert Redford
133754. You can’t completely control the sport – Tiger Woods comes close. The test is against yourself and nature’s own way. I find golf a particularly good metaphor for this story. – Robert Redford
133755. It’s an honor putting art above politics. Politics can be seductive in terms of things reductive to the soul. – Robert Redford
133756. We program the festival, after 20 years, exactly the way we did on the first day. – Robert Redford
133757. There is nothing I can do about this stuff and I am pretty well ok with the fact that I think Sundance is not going to be stopped by it, because he Festival is itself now, and doesn’t need me out there to talk about it like I did years ago. – Robert Redford
133758. Generally speaking, I went through that. I came to a place where I realised what true value was. It wasn’t money. Money is a means to achieving an end, but it’s not the end. – Robert Redford
133759. In fact you’ve got your hands tied behind your back when somebody chooses to take a low road in to you, there is nothing you can do about it, and so you just live with it and move on. – Robert Redford
133760. What I would do is when I was younger I would draw in a sketch book something that happened in my life and then write a little something on the side about what happened or what the story. – Robert Redford

133762. Filmgoers are starved for new ideas, voices and visions. – Robert Redford
133763. As an actor and as a person you come together with being in familiar territory although that has not been my whole life. That’s been a part of it. I think a lot of people associate me with the west because of Sundance. – Robert Redford
133764. Golf has become so manicured, so perfect. The greens, the fairways. I don’t like golf carts. I like walking. Some clubs won’t let you in unless you have a caddy and a cart. – Robert Redford
133765. He’s meant to be that classic Homer, Ulysses, Hercules – a character who goes out or has some gift of some kind. He goes on a journey of discovery and part of that is falling into darkness – the temptations of life. – Robert Redford
133766. Health food may be good for the conscience but Oreos taste a hell of a lot better. – Robert Redford
133767. I believe in mythology. I guess I share Joseph Campbell’s notion that a culture or society without mythology would die, and we’re close to that. – Robert Redford
133768. I did not, like my children and people today, grow up with television as part of my life. – Robert Redford
133769. I don’t know what your childhood was like, but we didn’t have much money. We’d go to a movie on a Saturday night, then on Wednesday night my parents would walk us over to the library. It was such a big deal, to go in and get my own book. – Robert Redford
133770. I had just arrived in New York from California. I was nineteen years old and excited beyond belief. I was an art student and an acting student and behaved as most young actors did – meaning that there was no such thing as a good actor, ’cause you yourself hadn’t shown up yet. – Robert Redford
133771. I’m not interested in a film about golf but I am interested in golf as a metaphor. – Robert Redford
133772. 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? – Robert Redford
133773. I am a cynical optimist. Big opening weekends are like cotton candy. The films you will remember over time are the films that stick in the consciousness of the audience in a good way. – Robert Redford
133774. I’m not a facelift person. I am what I am. – Robert Redford
133775. There were times after my marriage ended where, you know, I really felt like I was at the bottom of a mountain, there was a great big, fog up there, and I’m never going to cross to the other side. – Lynn Redgrave
133776. I don’t put off any time with my grandchildren. I don’t put off a thing. – Lynn Redgrave
133777. I don’t want to have to say, Honey, you know, could you turn off the sports channel because I’m not a big sports fan, and I don’t love the television being on just for the sake of turning on. I’d like turning on for some thing specific. – Lynn Redgrave
133778. I find love from time to time. – Lynn Redgrave
133779. I think – I think I’ve always been kind of – I used to think of myself as a piece of rubber when I was a kid because I was kind of very shy and very – very emotional about things, but I kind of would bounce back. – Lynn Redgrave
133780. I’m also doing constant book readings, movies. You name it, I’m doing it. – Lynn Redgrave
133781. Well, right now, technically, I have no breast cancer. – Lynn Redgrave
133782. So I – the thought that I would physically be different was – it’s not a thrill, I have to tell you. It’s kind of – it brings you up short. But I was able to look at it right away. – Lynn Redgrave
133783. They have – they do still hit me occasionally, and it’s an overwhelming grief for what – even though my life is so good now, even including going through treatment for cancer, my life is incredible. – Lynn Redgrave
133784. I don’t know how I dealt with it. I went to a shrink. – Lynn Redgrave
133785. I don’t want marriage. You know why? Because I did that. I did it for 32 years. – Lynn Redgrave
133786. It eats you up. It eats you up. And you have to – I had a lot of help. I had a lot of therapy. And I was able to – because it was hard, you know, to – you can’t just lay it on friends and children. – Lynn Redgrave
133787. And yet, I suppose you mourn the loss or the death of what you thought your life was, even if you find your life is better after. You mourn the future that you thought you’d planned. – Lynn Redgrave
133788. I did become American citizen in order to vote. I lived in this country for a very long time and I finally reached the point where I thought, I’m often sticking my neck out on various issues as all human beings have a right to do. – Lynn Redgrave
133789. I don’t want to marry again. I did that. – Lynn Redgrave
133790. And I also am very nervous about implants. You know, I’m just nervous about all that. So I could still do it. I could think about it. But I needed to adapt to myself. – Lynn Redgrave
133791. And I really also wanted to have the full-body scans to learn if it was anywhere else – and it wasn’t – before I told them. So I didn’t tell them, until for a week, and then I told them. – Lynn Redgrave
133792. And I would urge all women to have that regular mammogram. – Lynn Redgrave
133793. And so I was very grateful that I didn’t do the British stiff upper lip, but I went straight to a therapist. And she was wonderful and helpful, and I went for about two years. – Lynn Redgrave
133794. As an actor, particularly because I’m – I would call myself a character actor. I change my look, my physical appearance and my body, my hair color, my whatever all the time for a role. – Lynn Redgrave
133795. But I don’t want anybody to say have the right to say well if you bloody Brits don’t like it go home. And they have the right to say that if you haven’t become a citizen. – Lynn Redgrave
133796. But I’m looking at life, and I’m putting nothing off. – Lynn Redgrave
133797. God always has another custard pie up his sleeve. – Lynn Redgrave
133798. He had Parkinson’s disease for about, I’d say diagnosed for about 11 of the last years of his life. And treatment was not as good as it is now, of course. We’re still going along and he died in ’85 and he was 77. – Lynn Redgrave
133799. I believe I have lots of time. I have to believe that, that it won’t come back, and that that’s why I’m in good hands. But I also do live my life by putting nothing off. – Lynn Redgrave

133916. Dreams have always expanded our understanding of reality by challenging our boundaries of the real, of the possible. – Henry Reed
