More quotes by 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
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
So I've worked really hard, because nothing ever came easily to me.
Paul Newman
[Getting the truth in the New York Post has been as] difficult as finding a good hamburger in Albania.
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
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.
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
Almost everything I learned about being an actor came from those early years at the Actor's Studio.
Paul Newman
In racing, the fastest person wins. It is very simple.
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
I am convinced that a person is entitled to as much privacy as he wants. It should be his privilege to keep certain areas of his life out of the newspapers.
Paul Newman
I believe there can be dignity in the acting profession. And I think there ought to be more dignity in the publicity an actor gets.
Paul Newman
I respect generosity in people, and I respect it in companies too, I don't look at it as philanthropy I see it as an investment in the community.
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
People stay married because they want to, not because the doors are locked.
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
Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.
Paul Newman
The embarrassing thing is that my salad dressing is out-grossing my films.
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
The only way we can give our children the best education in the world and prepare them for the next century is by funding the programs that serve them.
Paul Newman
