Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.
Paul Newman
Image
I wasn't driven to acting by any inner compulsion. I was running away from the sporting goods business.
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?

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.

It happens to everybody, horses, dogs, men. Nobody gets out of life alive.

The need is great and so are the opportunities to make a difference.

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.

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.

I wasn't running toward the theater but running away from the sporting goods store. Of course now that I'm selling spaghetti sauce (with Newman's Own), I begin to understand the romance of business.. the allure of being the biggest fish in the pond and the juice you get from beating out your competitors.

I have taken roads that I wished I had not traveled on. And I'm traveling on some pretty exciting ones, too.

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.

I would like it if people would think that beyond Newman, there's a spirit that takes action, a heart, and a talent that doesn't come from my blue eyes.
Paul Newman
Image
There are three rules for running a business fortunately, we don't know any of them.
Paul Newman
Image
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
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.

Almost everything I learned about being an actor came from those early years at the Actor's Studio.

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.

I don't think there's anything exceptional or noble in being philanthropic. It's the other attitude that confuses me.

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