Quote

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.

Image
I wasn't driven to acting by any inner compulsion. I was running away from the sporting goods business.
Paul Newman
Image
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
Image
Well, the nice thing about animation, you don't even really have to account for yourself. All of the physical stuff that you work on as an actor, you just throw away.
Paul Newman
Image
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
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
It's really important to be attentive to the people who have less - who are less fortunate than you are.

While progress should never come to a halt, there are many places it should never come to at all.
Paul Newman
Image
A rebel is a nonconformist who is constantly saying no, and I'm not that. I'm a conformist and I believe in progress, and you can't make much progress by saying no all the time. A rebel is destructive. I know I have something constructive to offer.

Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.
Paul Newman
Image
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

So you wound up with Apollo/If he's sometimes hard to swallow/Use this.
Paul Newman
Image
If you don't have enemies, you don't have character.
Paul Newman
Image
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.

Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black.
Paul Newman
Image
The need is great and so are the opportunities to make a difference.
Paul Newman
Image
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?'

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.

Image
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.

The embarrassing thing is that my salad dressing is out-grossing my films.
Paul Newman
Image
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?
