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
It seems to me that the older I get, the more running around I do with less satisfaction, just spinning my wheels.
Paul Newman
How many honest men do you know? Take the sinners away from the saints, you're lucky to end up with Abraham Lincoln.

So I've worked really hard, because nothing ever came easily to me.
Paul Newman
I started my career giving a clinic in bad acting in the film, The Silver Chalice, and now I'm playing a crusty old man who's an animated automobile [in Cars]. That's a creative arc for you, isn't it?
Paul Newman
