More quotes by 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
The embarrassing thing is that my salad dressing is out-grossing my films.
Paul Newman
Being on President Nixon's enemies list was the highest single honor I've ever received. Who knows who's listening to me now and what government list I'm on?
Paul Newman
I don't think there's anything exceptional or noble in being philanthropic. It's the other attitude that confuses me.
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 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
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
Those with a moral deficit put on a good show, and sleep like a baby.
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
I just hope when my body goes, or when my mind does, I have the guts to end it the way Hemingway did. I don't want anybody wiping drool off my chin.
Paul Newman
Winning isn't everything.... it's just all there is.
Paul Newman
I don't like gossip stories. Facts are okay. But when gossips begin making items, that's something else again.
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
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 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
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
I have vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals.
Paul Newman
No sense in being a grifter if it's the same as being a citizen.
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
I can eat fifty eggs.
