When 'Malcolm in the Middle' was over, I was looking for a drama more than a comedy...but if it was a comedy that came up, it would have to be as well-written as 'Malcolm' was, and it would have to be a different kind of character than I played on that show. That's harder to come by. In drama, there were more opportunities, more options for me, and when I read ('Breaking Bad'), it was just, 'Good night, Nurse! I'm going after this sucker!'

Being a day player, period, is one of the hardest things you can do as an actor.

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

Money has never been my primary goal.

Pot always just made me sleepy.

If you have a screaming angry director, everyone else will be panicked as well.

My personal feeling, if I can interject a political note, is that I don't think it is right that basic health care is a privilege. It shouldn't be. It should be a right of all human beings. And certainly in the richest country in the world.
