Image
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

When the idea came up, (Newman's Own) I said, Are you crazy? Stick my face on the label of salad dressing? And then, of course, we got the whole idea of exploitation and how circular it is. Why not, really, go to the fullest length, and the silliest length, in exploiting yourself and turn the proceeds back to the community?

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.

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.

You say somebody’s guilty, everybody believes you. You say they’re innocent, nobody cares.
Paul Newman
Image
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.

So I've worked really hard, because nothing ever came easily to me.

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
Image
The embarrassing thing is that my salad dressing is out-grossing my films.
Paul Newman
Image
When you see the right thing to do, you'd better do it.
Paul Newman
Image
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
Image
People stay married because they want to, not because the doors are locked.
Paul Newman
Image
Once I started taking drama classes, I asked myself why I had ever wasted so much time on a football team.
Paul Newman
Image
While progress should never come to a halt, there are many places it should never come to at all.
Paul Newman
Image
Those with a moral deficit put on a good show, and sleep like a baby.

Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black.
Paul Newman
Image
I'm like a good cheese. I'm just getting mouldy enough to be interesting.
Paul Newman
Image
If you don't have enemies, you don't have character.

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.
