More quotes by 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
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 was terrorized by the emotional requirements of being an actor. Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.
Paul Newman
The need is great and so are the opportunities to make a difference.
Paul Newman
There are many ingredients that go into making a film. It baffles me, what works and what doesn't.
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
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 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
For some players, luck itself is an art
Paul Newman
I have vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals.
Paul Newman
Building weapons that we don't need, don't work, and aren't necessary, and have no mission that's not bad politics, that's robbery.
Paul Newman
I wasn't driven to acting by any inner compulsion. I was running away from the sporting goods business.
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'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
While progress should never come to a halt, there are many places it should never come to at all.
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
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
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
The best gift you can give yourself is the gift of possibility.
Paul Newman
