More quotes by Paul Newman
In racing, the fastest person wins. It is very simple.
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
Newman's first law: It is useless to put on your brakes when you're upside down.
Paul Newman
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.
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
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
The best gift you can give yourself is the gift of possibility.
Paul Newman
I have taken roads that I wished I had not traveled on. And I'm traveling on some pretty exciting ones, too.
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
Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black.
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
No sense in being a grifter if it's the same as being a citizen.
Paul Newman
While progress should never come to a halt, there are many places it should never come to at all.
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
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
On adultery: Why fool around with hamburger when you have steak at home?
Paul Newman
I'm like a good cheese. I'm just getting mouldy enough to be interesting.
Paul Newman
I wasn't driven to acting by any inner compulsion. I was running away from the sporting goods business.
Paul Newman
I started my career giving a clinic in bad acting in the film, The Silver Chalice, and now I'm playing a crusty old man who's an animated automobile [in Cars]. That's a creative arc for you, isn't it?
Paul Newman
For some players, luck itself is an art
