I have an extraordinary attention span. I manage to juggle two or three different ideas at the same time, and that's probably, if I have a gift, that's probably the best gift that's given me.
Paul Newman
Image
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
Image
The characters I have the least in common with are the ones I have the greatest success with. The further a role is from my own experience, the more I try to deepen it.
Paul Newman

Winning isn't everything.... it's just all there is.

Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black.
Paul Newman
Image
A rebel is a nonconformist who is constantly saying no, and I'm not that. I'm a conformist and I believe in progress, and you can't make much progress by saying no all the time. A rebel is destructive. I know I have something constructive to offer.

I wanted, I think, to acknowledge Luck: the chance of it, the benevolence of it in my life, and the brutality of it in the lives of others made especially savage for children because they may not be allowed the good fortune of a lifetime to correct it.
Paul Newman
Image
You got to have two things to win. You got to have brains and you got to have balls. Now you've got too much of one and not enough of the other.
Paul Newman
Image
Building weapons that we don't need, don't work, and aren't necessary, and have no mission — that's not bad politics, that's robbery.
Paul Newman
Image
Dreams without movement are delusions, escapes, kid’s play. You have to put your feet into your dreams if they’re ever going to be reality. The dreamers we know and love today are the ones who worked the hardest
Paul Newman
Image
Almost everything I learned about being an actor came from those early years at the Actor's Studio.
Paul Newman
Image
Once I started taking drama classes, I asked myself why I had ever wasted so much time on a football team.
Paul Newman
Image
An actor has to evaluate his own abilities and be honest with himself.
Paul Newman
Image
I don't think there's anything exceptional or noble in being philanthropic. It's the other attitude that confuses me.
Paul Newman

Newman's first law: It is useless to put on your brakes when you're upside down.
Paul Newman
Image
It wasn't as though I really made a commitment to it there wasn't anything else around. So I wasn't driven to become an actor.. it just seemed to be the thing that I managed to do best.
Paul Newman
Image
You say somebody’s guilty, everybody believes you. You say they’re innocent, nobody cares.
Paul Newman
Image
I'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried - who tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being. Someone who isn't complacent, who doesn't cop out.
