Paul Bettany Quotes

At the root of the shy temperament is a deep fear of social judgment, one so severe it can sometimes be crippling.

I am afraid I am totally hermetic to social games in general.

I hate dinner parties, you know, can't stand them. Friends don't bother inviting me any more, because they know I won't come. I could never think of anything to say between courses - it's a confidence thing, I suppose.
