More quotes by 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
For some players, luck itself is an art
Paul Newman
So I've worked really hard, because nothing ever came easily to me.
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
At the beginning of your career, it's 'Who is Paul Newman?' and then it's 'Get me Paul Newman.' Then it's 'Get me a young Paul Newman.' Then it's 'Who is Paul Newman?'
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
It happens to everybody, horses, dogs, men. Nobody gets out of life alive.
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
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
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.
Paul Newman
You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning.
Paul Newman
The embarrassing thing is that my salad dressing is out-grossing my films.
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
The need is great and so are the opportunities to make a difference.
Paul Newman
Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.
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
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
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
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
