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.

The things you want professionally are opportunities. And through my good fortune that's what's happened. Opportunity has come to me.

I appreciate my role as an actor much more after I direct because it's just easier.

The more you humanize superhero characters, the more they're relatable. The more they have a vulnerable point, whether it's emotionally or their superpower, or whatever, we relate the superpower or the loss of a superpower to their emotions. It's just fun to walk through that.

What used to frustrate me going into an audition was that some inexperienced, lesser casting people would think that actors are acting only when they're speaking.

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.

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