More quotes by 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
The characters I have the least in common with are the ones I have the greatest success with. The further a role is from my own experience, the more I try to deepen it.
Paul Newman
I'm a very competitive person. I always have been. And it's hard to be competitive about something as amorphous as acting. But you can be competitive on the track, because the rules are very simple and the declaration of the winner is very concise.
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
I cannot bear to look at a film that I made before 1990. Maybe 1985. There's no sense even trying to explain it. I really just can't watch myself. I see all the machinery at work and it just drives me nuts, so I don't look at anything.
Paul Newman
A lot of people have dreams and never do anything about them. When you have ideas and dreams, you do something about it.
Paul Newman
Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black.
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
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.
Paul Newman
I don't like gossip stories. Facts are okay. But when gossips begin making items, that's something else again.
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
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.
Paul Newman
I don't think there's anything exceptional or noble in being philanthropic. It's the other attitude that confuses me.
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
No sense in being a grifter if it's the same as being a citizen.
Paul Newman
[Getting the truth in the New York Post has been as] difficult as finding a good hamburger in Albania.
Paul Newman
The only way we can give our children the best education in the world and prepare them for the next century is by funding the programs that serve them.
Paul Newman
In racing, the fastest person wins. It is very simple.
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
Winning isn't everything.... it's just all there is.
Paul Newman
