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
Image
Almost everything I learned about being an actor came from those early years at the Actor's Studio.

Image
I never ask my wife about my flaws. Instead I try to get her to ignore them and concentrate on my sense of humor.
Paul Newman
Image
Dreams without movement are delusions, escapes, kid’s play. You have to put your feet into your dreams if they’re ever going to be reality. The dreamers we know and love today are the ones who worked the hardest
Paul Newman

It wasn't as though I really made a commitment to it there wasn't anything else around. So I wasn't driven to become an actor.. it just seemed to be the thing that I managed to do best.
Paul Newman
Image
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.

I started my career giving a clinic in bad acting in the film, The Silver Chalice, and now I'm playing a crusty old man who's an animated automobile [in Cars]. That's a creative arc for you, isn't it?

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.

People stay married because they want to, not because the doors are locked.
Paul Newman
Image
An actor has to evaluate his own abilities and be honest with himself.
Paul Newman
Image
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
Image
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.

Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black.
Paul Newman
Image
You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning.
Paul Newman
Image
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
Image
Winning isn't everything.... it's just all there is.

I don't like gossip stories. Facts are okay. But when gossips begin making items, that's something else again.

I'm like a good cheese. I'm just getting mouldy enough to be interesting.
