Paul Giamatti's quotes
- Am I really cool? You're telling me I'm cool? Well, that's good to hear.
- I'm not a guy who has a lot of, 'I want to work with so-and-so.' I'll take whatever work I can get.
- 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 start to really lose perspective on the movie when the critical response is as weirdly, regressively unanimous as it is. I'm such a natural skeptic that I start thinking, 'Maybe it actually sucks.'
- Generally, when I get offered these roles they're twisted or odd. It's never a straight-up romance. Like, the character can't speak or they turn out to be a serial killer.
- I've always managed to find stuff to do that I enjoyed. But the offers have definitely gotten more interesting since Sideways (2004).
- I'd rather be in something interesting that doesn't work than something that's a sure-fire thing but it's just kind of ... whatever.
- I've got to be the geekiest guy in the world in a lot of ways. I'm like a zeta male.
- Acting can be a really silly thing. It's like playing dress-up.
- I don't consider myself a very interesting person. I have the mentality of a supporting actor.
- (On his career) "I wouldn't say that I'm aggressive in going out to find work and stuff like that. I just sort of..if something comes along, and it's something I like, and they want to hire me, I'll do it. I won't just do anything."
- I think one of the great things about acting is the instant gratification: you just get up and start being a part of the story. The immediacy is something you get really addicted to.
- (On how he prepares for a part) "I usually just read the script a lot. And that's one thing I do, I just read the script over and over and over again. That helps me."
- I just sort of want to see how this movie thing plays out.
- During his 2008 Emmy acceptance speech as Best Actor in a Miniseries or Movie in John Adams (2008): I'm living proof, kids at home watching, that anybody can play the president.
- (2010, on Pretty Bird (2008)) I really liked this movie and I was disappointed that nothing happened with it...I really liked playing that part, I had a great time playing that part. It's one of my favorite parts I've played.
