Quotes By Paul Giamatti
I don't mind talking about acting. I don't have anything interesting to say about it, but it's interesting talking about it.

Paul Giamatti
I was the youngest child and got a lot more freedom than my brother and sister. I used to wander, doing my own thing under the radar, but I didn't get in bad, bad trouble.
Paul Giamatti

Paul Giamatti
Lead roles are fun, but I'm especially happy other, more colorful supporting stuff has come along.
Paul Giamatti
I don't consider myself a very interesting person. I have the mentality of a supporting actor.
