Paul Giamatti Quotes & Trivia

Quotes

Am I really cool? You're telling me I'm cool? Well, that's good to hear.

Honestly, I never wanted to be more than a good supporting actor. Really, I enjoy it.

It'd be disingenuous to say I don't like attention - I'm an actor for God's sake - and it's flattering and all, but attention was never my big goal. I just like to work and have a good time.

This whole business feels kind of intense, like a bad fit. Round peg, square hole. But whatever, I'll take it.

Well, you know, when people say stuff about you, it's always really flattering. But does it mean anything to me? It's not really real to me; there's no reality to it.

You are absolutely free to describe me as a turtle or something.

You start to really lose perspective on the movie when the critical response is as weirdly, regressively unanimous as it is.
