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.

More quotes by Paul Newman

Image
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
Image
I was terrorized by the emotional requirements of being an actor. Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.
Paul Newman
Image
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.

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.

You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning.

Newman's first law: It is useless to put on your brakes when you're upside down.

I don't think there's anything exceptional or noble in being philanthropic. It's the other attitude that confuses me.
Paul Newman
Image
You say somebody’s guilty, everybody believes you. You say they’re innocent, nobody cares.
Paul Newman
Image
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
Image
People stay married because they want to, not because the doors are locked.
Paul Newman
Image
I have vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals.
Paul Newman
Image
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.

You can't really appreciate anonymity until you've lost it. People say that's sour grapes, but it really isn't To be able to walk down the street without people paying attention to you is a real blessing and you lose it when you become an actor.
Paul Newman
Image
I wanted, I think, to acknowledge Luck: the chance of it, the benevolence of it in my life, and the brutality of it in the lives of others made especially savage for children because they may not be allowed the good fortune of a lifetime to correct it.

There are many ingredients that go into making a film. It baffles me, what works and what doesn't.
Paul Newman

Twenty-five years ago I couldn`t walk down the street without being recognized. Now I can put a cap on, walk anywhere and no one pays me any attention. They don`t ask me about my movies and they don`t ask me about my salad dressing because they don`t know who I am. Am I happy about this? You bet.

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

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.
