Paul Newman (1925 - 2008)
“It’s not enought that you just have talent, you got to have character too.”
From the NYT obit (not written by Bruce Weber):
“We are such spendthrifts with our lives,” Mr. Newman once told a reporter. “The trick of living is to slip on and off the planet with the least fuss you can muster. I’m not running for sainthood. I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer, who puts back into the soil what he takes out.”
