Who Paul Newman Was—and Who He Wanted to Be
He thought his success was just a matter of hard work and good luck. Other people had a different perspective.
Newman thought of himself (or he said he thought of himself) as nothing special, just an ordinary guy—who happened to look like a Greek god, but that was an accident of birth, a burden as much as a gift. It was not something he could take credit for.
Newman was blessed with a classic face; he was also blessed with a classic body. “He got to be twenty-nine years old,” Woodward once said, “and then he stayed twenty-nine years old year after year after year, while I got older and older and older.”

I'm guessing he didn't know she had that view, or if he did, he disagreed.
People would sometimes ask him why he had never cheated on Joanne.
His response was 'Why have hamburger when you have steak at home'.
