Those with a moral deficit put on a good show, and sleep like a baby.
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.
Paul Newman
Image
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
Image
It seems to me that the older I get, the more running around I do with less satisfaction, just spinning my wheels.

A rebel is a nonconformist who is constantly saying no, and I'm not that. I'm a conformist and I believe in progress, and you can't make much progress by saying no all the time. A rebel is destructive. I know I have something constructive to offer.

You got to have two things to win. You got to have brains and you got to have balls. Now you've got too much of one and not enough of the other.
Paul Newman
Image
Dreams without movement are delusions, escapes, kid’s play. You have to put your feet into your dreams if they’re ever going to be reality. The dreamers we know and love today are the ones who worked the hardest
Paul Newman
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

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.

Being on President Nixon's enemies list was the highest single honor I've ever received. Who knows who's listening to me now and what government list I'm on?

Image
I don't like gossip stories. Facts are okay. But when gossips begin making items, that's something else again.
Paul Newman
Image
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.

There are many ingredients that go into making a film. It baffles me, what works and what doesn't.

I have vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals.
