More quotes by Paul Newman
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
When you see the right thing to do, you'd better do it.
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
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 have vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals.
Paul Newman
It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career.
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
You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning.
Paul Newman

Paul Newman
I can eat fifty eggs.
Paul Newman
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.
Paul Newman
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.
Paul Newman
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.
Paul Newman
The embarrassing thing is that my salad dressing is out-grossing my films.
Paul Newman
I'm like a good cheese. I'm just getting mouldy enough to be interesting.
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
I was terrorized by the emotional requirements of being an actor. Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.
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
You only grow when you are alone.
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
