I feel that if you can transcend the color of your skin, with your talent, why carry that as a badge or a label?

I always wanted to be a boy scout but was too poor. Couldn't do it.

It's certain that the death of an actor can be on a television screen playing the same thing every week.

I think many people have contradictions to them and I love characters that deal with those contradictions.

My advice for achieving success is to make a career choice that reflects your passion. Then work your craft a little bit each day - even if someone's not paying you to do it. Try to balance your social life with your educational (or professional) life, and have patience.

People who have not done their research on me do not know that I am European, born in Copenhagen, Denmark to an Italian father from Napoli and a mother from Alabama who was singing opera and went to Europe, met my dad, fell in love, and then moved back to Rome, where I was raised, between Rome and Hamburg.

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