Paul Newman
Almost everything I learned about being an actor came from those early years at the Actor's Studio.
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 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
I wasn't running toward the theater but running away from the sporting goods store.

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 have an extraordinary attention span. I manage to juggle two or three different ideas at the same time, and that's probably, if I have a gift, that's probably the best gift that's given me.
Paul Newman
Newman's first law: It is useless to put on your brakes when you're upside down.
Paul Newman
I have vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals.
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
For some players, luck itself is an art
Paul Newman
Natural law. Sons are put on this earth to trouble their fathers.
Paul Newman
Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.
