I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.

Paul Newman would have been a much more important star if he hadn't always tried to be an anti-hero, to show the human feet of clay.

A long time ago, I made me a rule. I let people do what they want to do.

A friend of mine told me to shoot first and ask questions later. I was going to ask him why, but I had to shoot him.

You don't have to fight to be brave. Millions of good, fine, decent folks show more bravery than heavyweight champs just by getting out of bed every morning, going out to do a good day's work and living the best life they know how against the law of odds.

Don't ever for a minute make the mistake of looking down your nose at westerns. They're art - the good ones, I mean. They deal in life and sudden death and primitive struggle, and with the basic emotions - love, hate, and anger - thrown in. We'll have westerns films as long as the cameras keep turning. The fascination that the Old West has will never die. And as long as people want to pay money to see me act, I'll keep on making westerns until the day I die.

Very few of the so-called liberals are open-minded.... They shout you down and won't let you speak if you disagree with them.
