Top Years of Paul Newman ( Poster Story )
“Acting isn’t really a creative profession. It’s an interpretative one.”
On His Looks
“I was always a character actor. I just looked like Little Red Riding Hood. ”
“I’m like a good cheese. I’m just getting mouldy enough to be interesting.”
On Politics
“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.”
“Being on President Nixon’s enemies list was the highest single honor I’ve ever received. Who knows who’s listening to me now and what government list I’m on?”
“I do not believe the framers of the Constitution would have considered this particular situation high crimes and misdemeanors.”
On Marriage
“I don’t like to discuss my marriage, but I will tell you something which may sound corny but which happens to be true: I have steak at home, why should I go out for hamburger?”
“People stay married because they want to, not because the doors are locked.”
On His Food Business
“It started as a joke, and it just got out of control.”
“When I realized I was going to have to be a whore, to put my face on the label, I decided that the only way I could do it was to give away all the money we make. Over the years, that ethical stance has given us a 30 per cent boost. One in three customers buys my products because all the profits go to good causes and the rest buy the stuff because it is good. “
This is so cool. Thanks for sharing.
