Paul Newman is considering his final scene.

"I will probably have one film left in me," the 81-year-old actor told The Associated Press on Thursday. "The last hurrah."

Newman's latest role is playing a cantankerous 1951 Hudson Hornet in Pixar's new animated film, "Cars."

His film career stretches back to the 1950s and includes "The Sting," "Cool Hand Luke" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid."

"It's time. When it's time to get out, it's time to get out," Newman said.

Newman said he had a project in mind but would not provide further details.
