Who told you to step on my sneakers? Who told you to walk on my side of the block? Who told you to be in my neighborhood?

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

I'm a big fan of period pieces, and I'm a big fan of the old-time westerns.

We want to remember to be playful! We're here in this wonderful and incredible world! Like, the grand architect of the universe created this playground. And we're supposed to have fun, and we're supposed to play.

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.

For me, listening to my breath in between the lines, allows me to be in deep connection to my spirit.
