Paul Newman Filmography

• "I've been trying to quit almost everything I do for the last 10 years, and I've managed to quit absolutely nothing."
• "I was going to give up my race team, I was going to quit racing. I was going to quit films. I was going to turn the salad-dressing business over to somebody else. And get out of politics. And unfortunately, I'm busier now than before."
• "The human beast is a naturally escalating animal and where it seems to escalate now is in excess."
• "If you offer violence and sex and explosions, the next time you're going to have to kick up a notch higher to have the same effect - it's like dope."
• On adultery: "Why fool around with hamburger when you have steak at home?"
• !...I'd shack up with anyone for a million dollars. I'd shack up with a gorilla for a million, plus 10 percent."
• "Acting is like letting your pants down - you're exposed."
