I'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried - who tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being. Someone who isn't complacent, who doesn't cop out.

I find it hard to believe that anyone could be so curious about me that they would want to read that I wear underwear shorts with green polka dots on them.

Acting is like letting your pants down; you're exposed.

I'm a great believer in luck and the extraordinary role that plays in all of our lives.

I would like it if people would think that beyond Newman, there's a spirit that takes action, a heart, and a talent that doesn't come from my blue eyes.

A lot of people have dreams and never do anything about them. When you have ideas and dreams, you do something about it.

Sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
