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.

At my age, I don't think anyone is untouched by cancer.

I enjoy doing comedy for the fact that you go to work and you laugh. That's a good combination.

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!'

[My father] had a massive middle-age breakdown. And left the family. And then it just completely fell apart. And my mother was heartbroken, just completely devastated. To make ends meet we started selling off all our possessions.

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.

There's this notion that in order to draw attention and to be considered for roles I want to be considered for, you need a certain amount of notoriety.
