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.

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 from a divorced family almost felt like a scarlet letter at times. And I denied it for a long time.
