Paul Newman
[Getting the truth in the New York Post has been as] difficult as finding a good hamburger in Albania.
Paul Newman
You can't really appreciate anonymity until you've lost it. People say that's sour grapes, but it really isn't To be able to walk down the street without people paying attention to you is a real blessing and you lose it when you become an actor.
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
There are many ingredients that go into making a film. It baffles me, what works and what doesn't.
Paul Newman
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.
Paul Newman
You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning.

Those with a moral deficit put on a good show, and sleep like a baby.
Paul Newman
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.
Paul Newman
If you don't have enemies, you don't have character.
Paul Newman
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
An actor has to evaluate his own abilities and be honest with himself.
Paul Newman
I find it hard to believe that anyone could be so curious about me that they would want to read that I wear underwear shorts with green polka dots on them.
Paul Newman
Once I started taking drama classes, I asked myself why I had ever wasted so much time on a football team.
Paul Newman
It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career.
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 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
You only grow when you are alone.
Paul Newman
I'm like a good cheese. I'm just getting mouldy enough to be interesting.
Paul Newman
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
