Paul Newman
I believe there can be dignity in the acting profession. And I think there ought to be more dignity in the publicity an actor gets.

When the idea came up, (Newman's Own) I said, Are you crazy? Stick my face on the label of salad dressing? And then, of course, we got the whole idea of exploitation and how circular it is.

Paul Newman
I never ask my wife about my flaws. Instead I try to get her to ignore them and concentrate on my sense of humor.
Paul Newman
I had no natural gift to be anything - not an athlete, not an actor, not a writer, not a director, a painter of garden porches - not anything. So I've worked really hard, because nothing ever came easily to me.
Paul Newman
I have vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals.
Paul Newman
When you see the right thing to do, you'd better do it.
Paul Newman
It's been a privilege to be here.
Paul Newman
An actor has to evaluate his own abilities and be honest with himself.
Paul Newman
Well, the nice thing about animation, you don't even really have to account for yourself. All of the physical stuff that you work on as an actor, you just throw away.
Paul Newman
[Getting the truth in the New York Post has been as] difficult as finding a good hamburger in Albania.
Paul Newman
On adultery: Why fool around with hamburger when you have steak at home?
Paul Newman
The Alexander Technique helped a long-standing back problem and to get a good night's sleep after many years of tossing and turning.
