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.

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.

I don't really relax. When I sleep, I relax.

Pot always just made me sleepy.

There's boldness in being assertive; there's strength and confidence.

Actors, writers, directors - that triumvirate of creativity - we have to rely and trust each other to be able to get to the final product.
