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.

More quotes by Paul Newman
The Alexander Technique helped a long-standing back problem and to get a good night's sleep after many years of tossing and turning.
Paul Newman
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
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
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
While progress should never come to a halt, there are many places it should never come to at all.
Paul Newman
You only grow when you are alone.
Paul Newman
Well, the nice thing about animation, you don't even really have to account for yourself. All of the physical stuff that you work on as an actor, you just throw away.
Paul Newman
Winning isn't everything.... it's just all there is.
Paul Newman
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.
Paul Newman
The embarrassing thing is that my salad dressing is out-grossing my films.
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 have an extraordinary attention span. I manage to juggle two or three different ideas at the same time, and that's probably, if I have a gift, that's probably the best gift that's given me.
Paul Newman
The big difference between people is not between the rich and the poor, the good and the evil. The biggest of all differences between people is between those who have had pleasure in love and those who haven't.
Paul Newman
In racing, the fastest person wins. It is very simple.
Paul Newman
There are many ingredients that go into making a film. It baffles me, what works and what doesn't.
Paul Newman
You say somebody’s guilty, everybody believes you. You say they’re innocent, nobody cares.
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
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
Once I started taking drama classes, I asked myself why I had ever wasted so much time on a football team.
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
