More quotes by Paul Newman
Husbands and wives should have separate interests, cultivate different sets of friends and not impose on the other... You can't spend a lifetime breathing down each other's necks... We are very, very different people and yet somehow we fed off those varied differences and instead of separating us, it has made the whole bond a lot stronger.
Paul Newman
I wasn't driven to acting by any inner compulsion. I was running away from the sporting goods business.
Paul Newman
I am convinced that a person is entitled to as much privacy as he wants. It should be his privilege to keep certain areas of his life out of the newspapers.
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
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 never ask my wife about my flaws. Instead I try to get her to ignore them and concentrate on my sense of humor.
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
You only grow when you are alone.

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

Paul Newman
It seems to me that the older I get, the more running around I do with less satisfaction, just spinning my wheels.
Paul Newman
While progress should never come to a halt, there are many places it should never come to at all.
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
Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black.
Paul Newman
The best gift you can give yourself is the gift of possibility.
Paul Newman
So I've worked really hard, because nothing ever came easily to me.
Paul Newman
Those with a moral deficit put on a good show, and sleep like a baby.
Paul Newman
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
So you wound up with Apollo/If he's sometimes hard to swallow/Use this.
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
