It seems to me that the older I get, the more running around I do with less satisfaction, just spinning my wheels.
Paul Newman
Image
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
Image
I wasn't driven to acting by any inner compulsion. I was running away from the sporting goods business.
Paul Newman
Image
Once I started taking drama classes, I asked myself why I had ever wasted so much time on a football team.
Paul Newman
Image
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.

Winning isn't everything.... it's just all there is.

There are many ingredients that go into making a film. It baffles me, what works and what doesn't.
Paul Newman
Image
The embarrassing thing is that my salad dressing is out-grossing my films.
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.

Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black.
Paul Newman
Image
When you see the right thing to do, you'd better do it.
Paul Newman
Image
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
Image
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
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
You say somebody’s guilty, everybody believes you. You say they’re innocent, nobody cares.
Paul Newman
Image
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
Image
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.
