More quotes by Paul Newman
For some players, luck itself is an art
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
The accusation is always on the first page, and the retraction on page 19.
Paul Newman
An actor has to evaluate his own abilities and be honest with himself.
Paul Newman
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
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 don't think there's anything exceptional or noble in being philanthropic. It's the other attitude that confuses me.
Paul Newman
Almost everything I learned about being an actor came from those early years at the Actor's Studio.
Paul Newman
There are many ingredients that go into making a film. It baffles me, what works and what doesn't.
Paul Newman
It seems to me that the older I get, the more running around I do with less satisfaction, just spinning my wheels.
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 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
Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black.
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?
Paul Newman
I have vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals.
Paul Newman
If you don't have enemies, you don't have character.
Paul Newman
The embarrassing thing is that my salad dressing is out-grossing my films.
Paul Newman
You discover a lot of things on your feet and if you don't have any rehearsal, then anything that happens on the screen is by accident.
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
Winning isn't everything.... it's just all there is.
Paul Newman
