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.
Paul Newman
When you see the right thing to do, you'd better do it.
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
