Paul Newman Quotes

There are a lot of drivers who can carry a car. It doesn’t happen very often very successfully. I think it takes a certain amount of sensible bravery. It’s no good to be brave and just keep crashing Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You got to have two things to win. You got to have brains and you got to have balls. Now you’ve got too much of one and not enough of the other Picture Quote #1

People like to do what they used to do after they’ve stopped being able to do it Picture Quote #1

I’m a great believer in luck and the extraordinary role that plays in all of our lives Picture Quote #1

I think transitions are never that noticeable, but they are always on their way. It has to do with distance and accessibility. People call it mellowing, but I think it’s how available you are toward other people, or how much you distance yourself Picture Quote #1

I’m a supporter of gay rights. And not a closet supporter either. From the time I was a kid, I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being... by the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant Picture Quote #1

I like racing but food and pictures are more thrilling. I can’t give them up. In racing you can be certain, to the last thousandth of a second, that someone is the best, but with a film or a recipe, there is no way of knowing how all the ingredients will work out in the end. The best can turn out to be awful and the worst can be fantastic. Cooking is like performing and performing like cooking Picture Quote #1
