Bryan Cranston quotes about
Being from a divorced family almost felt like a scarlet letter at times. And I denied it for a long time.
Let me demonstrate. When you greet a friend this is the duration of the kiss that's acceptable. "Hi, good to see you - yeah." When you make a mistake and stay too long at the lips, this is how long it is. "Hi, how are you? Good to see you." And that's what happened. It was like, "Uh-oh, what was that? Oh."
I do force myself to sleep with myself to get the job. But that's always a disappointment.
I was just infused with ideas and I would dream about it and wake up and go, "Oh, I have another idea about Walter White." It was so well written. And it just got into my soul.

I said, "He comes home at night when you guys are in bed. He gets us up and we play." I said it so much that I started to believe it myself, you know?

I don't have spare time.
People would love to be rich, but they're looking for the easy way. Who wouldn't want to win the lottery? Just to score.
I have some anger issues.
We've been trained since kindergarten: Be nice, be kind, share, put on a smile. So we're conditioned to squash our natural selfish instincts, and that's the right thing for society.
Money has never been my primary goal.
Given the right set of circumstances any one of us could become dangerous - so why not show that in our programmes?
