Newman's first law: It is useless to put on your brakes when you're upside down.
Paul Newman
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.

Paul Newman
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.
Paul Newman
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
Natural law. Sons are put on this earth to trouble their fathers.
Paul Newman
If you don't have enemies, you don't have character.
Paul Newman
Those with a moral deficit put on a good show, and sleep like a baby.
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
Well, the nice thing about animation, you don't even really have to account for yourself. All of the physical stuff that you work on as an actor, you just throw away.
Paul Newman
So you wound up with Apollo/If he's sometimes hard to swallow/Use this.
Paul Newman
I believe there can be dignity in the acting profession. And I think there ought to be more dignity in the publicity an actor gets.
Paul Newman
