More quotes by 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
If you don't have enemies, you don't have character.
Paul Newman
While progress should never come to a halt, there are many places it should never come to at all.
Paul Newman
Winning isn't everything.... it's just all there is.
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
Admit it. I'm the best you ever seen, Fats. I'm the best there is. And even if you beat me, I'm still the best.
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 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
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.
Paul Newman
Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black.
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
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
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 don't like gossip stories. Facts are okay. But when gossips begin making items, that's something else again.
Paul Newman
People stay married because they want to, not because the doors are locked.
Paul Newman
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.
Paul Newman
The need is great and so are the opportunities to make a difference.
Paul Newman
It's really important to be attentive to the people who have less - who are less fortunate than you are.
Paul Newman
No sense in being a grifter if it's the same as being a citizen.
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
