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.

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 -
Acting can be a really silly thing. It's like playing dress-up.
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 -
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 -
I don't think film actors need training, really, but I needed any help I could get.
Paul Giamatti -
I don't consider myself a very interesting person. I have the mentality of a supporting actor.

It's funny: most people who recognize me on the subway and stuff - it's much more they think of me as a funny guy. I get much more of people telling me how much I make them laugh, actually. Which is nice.
Paul Giamatti -
There is something pleasurable for an actor to produce something and not be in it.
