More quotes by 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
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?
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
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
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
You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning.
Paul Newman
I was terrorized by the emotional requirements of being an actor. Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.
Paul Newman
I respect generosity in people, and I respect it in companies too, I don't look at it as philanthropy I see it as an investment in the community.
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 believe there can be dignity in the acting profession. And I think there ought to be more dignity in the publicity an actor gets.
Paul Newman
You say somebody’s guilty, everybody believes you. You say they’re innocent, nobody cares.
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 started my career giving a clinic in bad acting in the film, The Silver Chalice, and now I'm playing a crusty old man who's an animated automobile [in Cars]. That's a creative arc for you, isn't it?
Paul Newman
Those with a moral deficit put on a good show, and sleep like a baby.
Paul Newman
Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black.
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
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
Natural law. Sons are put on this earth to trouble their fathers.
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
I just hope when my body goes, or when my mind does, I have the guts to end it the way Hemingway did. I don't want anybody wiping drool off my chin.
Paul Newman
