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
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
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
The accusation is always on the first page, and the retraction on page 19.
Paul Newman
I'm a very competitive person. I always have been. And it's hard to be competitive about something as amorphous as acting. But you can be competitive on the track, because the rules are very simple and the declaration of the winner is very concise.
Paul Newman
It wasn't as though I really made a commitment to it there wasn't anything else around. So I wasn't driven to become an actor.. it just seemed to be the thing that I managed to do best.
Paul Newman
I wasn't driven to acting by any inner compulsion. I was running away from the sporting goods business.
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 was terrorized by the emotional requirements of being an actor. Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.
Paul Newman
An actor has to evaluate his own abilities and be honest with himself.
Paul Newman
I can eat fifty eggs.
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
No sense in being a grifter if it's the same as being a citizen.
Paul Newman
The spaghetti sauce is a good thing to think about. Morning, noon, and night, think about the spaghetti sauce. Think about hustling other people to buy the spaghetti sauce.
Paul Newman
The embarrassing thing is that my salad dressing is out-grossing my films.
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 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 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
There are many ingredients that go into making a film. It baffles me, what works and what doesn't.
Paul Newman
Natural law. Sons are put on this earth to trouble their fathers.
