“Winning the Oscar was the highlight of my career. It was a dream come true.”

“I've always been a character actor. I've never been a leading man.”

“The joy of 'Cool Hand Luke' was that I was able to be a part of a classic film.”

“I think the best thing that ever happened to me was being in the Army. I learned a lot about myself and about other people.”

“I love to work. I'm a workaholic. I've been working since I was 13.”

“I'm not a Method actor. I'm a 'what's the line?' actor.”

“I am the most fortunate of men. I have had a wonderful life, a wonderful career, and I've been lucky enough to have been in some really good pictures.”

“The only thing I can do is play the character as I see him. I can't do anything else.”

“I've been very, very lucky. I've had a wonderful life. I've been a movie star, I've been an actor, I've been a writer.”

“I think Paul Newman was the most generous actor I ever worked with.”
