I intend to do more directing TV.

Actors, writers, directors - that triumvirate of creativity - we have to rely and trust each other to be able to get to the final product.

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.

It's mind-altering when you slip into someone else's shoes. That's psychedelic, man.

I learned long ago to focus on things you can control and don't even pay attention to things you don't.

Had "Malcolm in the Middle" been picked up I would not have been available for the pilot of "Breaking Bad." And right now someone else would be sitting in this chair talking to you. Not me.

Ever since I stopped worrying about finances, I've made more money than I ever thought I'd make in my life.
