More quotes by Bob Odenkirk
I actually think there's a potential, a crazy potential, that network TV could become something valuable and worthwhile, just because of fear on the part of the networks.
Bob Odenkirk
I think independent movies are actually very challenging right now, because it was this huge scene and it was great for a few years. Then, it was totally co-opted by the studios. Now, it's become very corporate, the independent scene.
Bob Odenkirk
The worst thing is to read bad reviews and go, Yeah, I agree.

Bob Odenkirk
I think that cable TV is a great venue to do something interesting.
Bob Odenkirk
I pretty much read reviews and comments only looking for the negative. Literally, when I read positive comments, it's like a zero. I think the issue is if you agree with it or not.
Bob Odenkirk
My daughter got me a 'World's Best Dad' mug. So we know she's sarcastic.
Bob Odenkirk
You shouldn't eat red meat, but you shouldn't make resolutions you can't keep.
Bob Odenkirk
I love any scene where there's a physical confrontation. It reminds me that I'm in show business and I play pretend for a living.
Bob Odenkirk
I think everybody has a public persona. We all present ourselves.
Bob Odenkirk
I think that acting is no fun unless it's hard. I'm not titillated by acting or being an actor unless I have to work hard.
Bob Odenkirk
When you envy actors, only envy them for their good roles. Keep in mind they have to do a lot of roles to make a living, and not all of them are good. When they're doing a stupid role in a bad production, it's kind of a dumb thing to do when you're an adult. When you're doing a great role that's well-written, it's an enviable job.
Bob Odenkirk
You can't guarantee that you'll make a great movie, but you can make a greater effort than I made at trying to see that the basics are there.
