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!'

The turmoil that my dad went through, and then by extension, the kids went though, was profound and disastrous for the marriage, for the family.

It's funny, I do try to maintain health. I started doing Bikram yoga which is that hothouse yoga, the 105 degrees yoga for 90 minutes. It's great, you purge out all the sweat and you're drinking water.

Gay and lesbian couples should have the right to experience the joys of marriage and family.

I intend to do more directing TV.

Pot always just made me sleepy.

It is my biggest fear, something happening to a child, your child, is unfathomable.
