Giovanni Ribisi quote: "I love talking about Scientology."
I love talking about Scientology. Giovanni Ribisi
My mother told me I was begging her to be an actor when I was four. My father and my grandfather saw at least one or two movies a week; they were film buffs, so I guess it just rubbed off on me. And now it's kind of become a way of life for me. Giovanni Ribisi
What's sad is that there is an addictive quality to that, to believing your own hype; to allowing yourself to become validated by others and no longer by yourself. That's the danger of celebrity. Giovanni Ribisi

I'm so critical of myself. I'm actually really, really proud of the film. It's really cool to see a movie at Sundance because everybody is so supportive. Giovanni Ribisi

Giovanni Ribisi quote: "I'm old fashioned with my cell phone. I like that human..."
I'm old fashioned with my cell phone. I like that human contact and I think it's important. Giovanni Ribisi
Giovanni Ribisi quote: "Those people are unabashedly ruthless as far as money is..."
Those people are unabashedly ruthless as far as money is concerned. Giovanni Ribisi
There's the concept that if I do this big budget project, then that will help me do the things I really want to do and bring more money to those films. Giovanni Ribisi
Giovanni Ribisi quote: "Dostoevski was on to something. You are the path you choose...."
Dostoevski was on to something. You are the path you choose. You are what your vocation is. Giovanni Ribisi
We went to - I guess it was a legitimate boiler room, and I sat in front of this guy who literally was on the phone with two people at once. They call it double fisting. Giovanni Ribisi
