I think Hollywood is in love with sequels. If it's successful once, just jazz it up and shoot it out there again. I think it's unfortunate.

You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning.

I wasn't running toward the theater but running away from the sporting goods store. Of course now that I'm selling spaghetti sauce (with Newman's Own), I begin to understand the romance of business.. the allure of being the biggest fish in the pond and the juice you get from beating out your competitors.

You discover a lot of things on your feet and if you don't have any rehearsal, then anything that happens on the screen is by accident.

The accusation is always on the first page, and the retraction on page 19.

Once I started taking drama classes, I asked myself why I had ever wasted so much time on a football team.

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.

Twenty-five years ago I couldn`t walk down the street without being recognized. Now I can put a cap on, walk anywhere and no one pays me any attention. They don`t ask me about my movies and they don`t ask me about my salad dressing because they don`t know who I am. Am I happy about this? You bet.

It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career.

I don't like gossip stories. Facts are okay. But when gossips begin making items, that's something else again.
Paul Newman
Image
There are many ingredients that go into making a film. It baffles me, what works and what doesn't.

While progress should never come to a halt, there are many places it should never come to at all.

No sense in being a grifter if it's the same as being a citizen.
Paul Newman

I would like it if people would think that beyond Newman, there's a spirit that takes action, a heart, and a talent that doesn't come from my blue eyes.

I have taken roads that I wished I had not traveled on. And I'm traveling on some pretty exciting ones, too.
Paul Newman
Image
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.

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.

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.

We are such spendthrifts with our lives, the trick of living is to slip on and off the planet with the least fuss you can muster. I’m not running for sainthood. I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer, who puts back into the soil what he takes out.

How many honest men do you know? Take the sinners away from the saints, you're lucky to end up with Abraham Lincoln.
