As an actor, to have achieved financial stability is amazing. But I always have this weird fear that I'm not going to get any more work; it's about not having enough money. Paul Giamatti achieveactoramaze Change image and share on social
When I did 'Lady in the Water,' the most exciting thing to me was to get to work with Bob Balaban - I couldn't leave the guy alone. I drove him crazy. He's fantastic and a hilarious guy. Paul Giamatti balabanbobcrazy Change image and share on social
I really only started doing film in '97. I mean, before then, I just pretty much did theater. Paul Giamatti filmprettystart Change image and share on social
With 'Duplicity', I was a little bit like, 'This isn't that hard of a movie.' This isn't like some huge brain trust of a movie. You gotta be a little bit awake to follow the plot, but it's really just a kind of light entertainment. It's like those Cary Grant movies, which are not meant to be anything other than diverting. In a nice way. Paul Giamatti awakebitebrain share on social
I find that the crazy narcissists, the selfish loons are often the most fun to be around, weirdly. Paul Giamatti crazyfindfun Change image and share on social
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. Paul Giamatti flatterpeoplereal Change image and share on social
I was never the class clown or put on shows at home. I never thought of acting as something I could do with my life. When I was a kid, I used to run around wrapped in toilet paper so I could be the Mummy. But that wasn't a sign that I was dreaming of being an actor. I was just an odd child.

I remember when I was at the first showing of 'John Dies at the End' at Sundance, and I was talking to some of the people in the standby crowd who were outside and didn't have tickets. They were just waiting in line to see if they could get in. It was this whole gang of die-hard sci-fi wacko people, and they were just fantastic. Paul Giamatti crowddieend share on social

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. Paul Giamatti actorattentionbig Change image and share on social
