More quotes by Paul Newman
So I've worked really hard, because nothing ever came easily to me.
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
While progress should never come to a halt, there are many places it should never come to at all.
Paul Newman
I just hope when my body goes, or when my mind does, I have the guts to end it the way Hemingway did. I don't want anybody wiping drool off my chin.
Paul Newman
I was terrorized by the emotional requirements of being an actor. Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.
Paul Newman
I am convinced that a person is entitled to as much privacy as he wants. It should be his privilege to keep certain areas of his life out of the newspapers.
Paul Newman
At the beginning of your career, it's 'Who is Paul Newman?' and then it's 'Get me Paul Newman.' Then it's 'Get me a young Paul Newman.' Then it's 'Who is Paul Newman?'
Paul Newman
The embarrassing thing is that my salad dressing is out-grossing my films.
Paul Newman
I can eat fifty eggs.
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.
Paul Newman
The best thing you can give yourselves...is the gift of possibility. And the best thing you can give each other is the pledge to go on protecting that gift in each other as long as you live.
Paul Newman
I respect generosity in people, and I respect it in companies too, I don't look at it as philanthropy I see it as an investment in the community.
Paul Newman
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. Why not, really, go to the fullest length, and the silliest length, in exploiting yourself and turn the proceeds back to the community?
Paul Newman
I'm a very competitive person. I always have been. And it's hard to be competitive about something as amorphous as acting. But you can be competitive on the track, because the rules are very simple and the declaration of the winner is very concise.
Paul Newman
The big difference between people is not between the rich and the poor, the good and the evil. The biggest of all differences between people is between those who have had pleasure in love and those who haven't.
Paul Newman
I don't like gossip stories. Facts are okay. But when gossips begin making items, that's something else again.
Paul Newman
The spaghetti sauce is a good thing to think about. Morning, noon, and night, think about the spaghetti sauce. Think about hustling other people to buy the spaghetti sauce.
Paul Newman
Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black.
Paul Newman
So you wound up with Apollo/If he's sometimes hard to swallow/Use this.
Paul Newman
You only grow when you are alone.
Paul Newman
