I have a lot of very, very powerful women in my life. My mother being the first.

I know from teaching, that actors want to act. Even the subtlest actors can do a little too much.

After 'Breaking Bad,' people are very frightened of who I am. They back away from me on the street.

When you have great acting partners, you hope that your reaction to them is propels you deeper into your own character.

There is a price to pay for most of our actions. For every action, there is a reaction.

I love to read, and I like the fact that there's some silence in my life.

I try to be careful with my persuasiveness. When my heart is really behind it, and when I have no ulterior motive, then I know I’m truly persuasive.
