And as an actor, I remember once sitting with Paul Newman, who was the loveliest man and wanted so hard to be normal.
He really wanted to be one of the guys.
He took up racing, and when he was at the track, he was not Paul Newman, the movie star.

And I used to go with him all the time to races, and we used to go race go-karts together.

He didn't care any other time.
