Moreover, the combination of his attention to detail and cautious, circumspect approach to life, coupled with his youthful curiosity and quick mind makes Paul mentally sharp, articulate and clever.

Paul Bettany is, in many ways, an eternal child. His mind is bright, alert, curious, flexible, playful and always eager for new experiences - and his attention span is often quite brief.

It may be hard for Paul Bettany to decide just where his talents and true vocation lie, for he has a multitude of interests and is loathe limiting himself by concentrating on just one. He is easily distracted by all of the other fascinating possibilities.

Doing the same thing over and over again, even if it is something he does well, is tantamount to drudgery for Bettany.

Paul Bettany lives in his head a great deal - reading, observing, thinking, spinning ideas around - and he needs mental stimulation every bit as much as he needs food and drink.

His happiness lies in using his creativity and language skills to communicate something meaningful, teach, inspire, or bring people together. Paul has an unbiased mind and can usually offer a fresh, clear, uncluttered perspective.
