Post your favorite Paul Newman quote

Recommended Posts

"This ain't pool. This is for bangers. Straight pool is pool. This is like hand-ball, or cribbage, or something. Straight pool, you gotta be a real surgeon to get 'em, you know? It's all finesse. Now, every thing is nine-ball, 'cause it's fast, good for T.V., good for a lot of break shots... Oh, well. What the hell. Checkers sells more than chess."
Please don't dent the planet.

"I coulda beat that guy, coulda beat 'im cold, he never woulda known. But I just hadda show 'im. Just hadda show those creeps and those punks what the game is like when it's great, when it's REALLY great. You know, like anything can be great, anything can be great. I don't care, BRICKLAYING can be great, if a guy knows. If he knows what he's doing and why and if he can make it come off. When I'm goin', I mean, when I'm REALLY goin' I feel like a... like a jockey must feel. He's sittin' on his horse, he's got all that speed and that power underneath him... he's comin' into the stretch, the pressure's on 'im, and he KNOWS... just feels... when to let it go and how much. Cause he's got everything workin' for 'im: timing, touch. It's a great feeling, boy, it's a real great feeling when you're right and you KNOW you're right. It's like all of a sudden I got oil in my arm. The pool cue's part of me. You know, it's uh - pool cue, it's got nerves in it. It's a piece of wood, it's got nerves in it. Feel the roll of those balls, you don't have to look, you just KNOW. You make shots that nobody's ever made before. I can play that game the way... NOBODY'S ever played it before."

The Hustler (1961)

You know, your son looks like a fag to me.

You better get re-married again, or he's gonna have someone's cock in his mouth before you can say Jack Robinson.

Does any one remember that Paul Newman had a son that was a skydiver with at least an S/L-I rating. He either died jumping or suicide, Late 70's I believe Perris or Elsinore area. Maybe 1000 jumps or more.
In Slap-Shot he bet at ?:00 oclock a women would be walking through the bar door wearing a red dress. He won it was his ex-wife and she lived in that town. It might have been for an alimony check .
My son gave me Cool Hand Luke DVD for my birthday present. I was probably the only one in the show when it came out that laughed when he sang "Plastic Jesus" on the banjo after his mother died.
