Paul Newman

You say somebody’s guilty, everybody believes you. You say they’re innocent, nobody cares.

Fill the moment and find variety.

I have vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals.

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.

You can't really appreciate anonymity until you've lost it. People say that's sour grapes, but it really isn't To be able to walk down the street without people paying attention to you is a real blessing and you lose it when you become an actor.

The accusation is always on the first page, and the retraction on page 19.

To be an actor you have to be a child.

If you don't have enemies, you don't have character.

A feud should live a full and colorful life, and then it should die a natural death and be forgotten.

Those with a moral deficit put on a good show, and sleep like a baby.

I never ask my wife about my flaws. Instead I try to get her to ignore them and concentrate on my sense of humor. You don't want any woman to look under the carpet because there's lots of flaws underneath. Joanne believes my character in a film we did together, "Mr. and Mrs. Bridge" comes closest to who I really am. I personally don't think there's one character who comes close... but I learned a long time ago not to disagree on things that I don't have a solid opinion about.
