I just want to serve up the goodness and grace that's been given to me because I made a choice that lined up with my passion. And that's what I tell my kids.

I don't think anyone is black and white and I think we change our minds and our attitudes about certain things as we grow to our maturity.

I believe acting is very physical, and when you have to fight or do those kinds of things, it takes a lot of respect not to allow yourself to go off and hurt yourself or someone else.

I feel that we have come a long way as American people, and we have to start looking at ourselves as human beings.

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

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

I take things very seriously, and I give myself time to come down and to ramp up, and it's an inside spiritual journey for me. I feel like acting is a way of feeling your personality, and it's really special. Special to have this kind of effect on people. You can only have that effect if you're really outside of yourself. You can't look at yourself and do what I do at the same time. I have done it that way in the past, but it doesn't really work. I can only soar within the parameters of time, and I use music analogies.
