More quotes by Bryan Cranston
Hollywood has known this for quite a while: Cable is the place to go because they truly have a supportive network and they want to do things that cannot be seen on broadcast. That stimulates the writer-producer. Cable is king.
Bryan Cranston
Money has never been my primary goal.
Bryan Cranston
It's funny, I do try to maintain health. I started doing Bikram yoga which is that hothouse yoga, the 105 degrees yoga for 90 minutes. It's great, you purge out all the sweat and you're drinking water.
Bryan Cranston
The only thing that we as actors really can control is to be able to say 'yes' or 'no' to the material.
Bryan Cranston
I don't think life owes me anything and the business doesn't owe me anything. The only way to approach it is by working hard and loving what you do. If you do that and have faith, maybe you will get lucky. I mean that sincerely and specifically. I truly believe that no professional career in the arts is capable without a healthy dose of luck.
Bryan Cranston
Part of an actor's job is to draw up a back story.
Bryan Cranston
My passion is becoming involved in good work, whether that means as an actor or writer or director or producer or all - that is not as important to me.
Bryan Cranston
There's this notion that in order to draw attention and to be considered for roles I want to be considered for, you need a certain amount of notoriety.
Bryan Cranston
My personal feeling, if I can interject a political note, is that I don't think it is right that basic health care is a privilege. It shouldn't be. It should be a right of all human beings. And certainly in the richest country in the world.
Bryan Cranston
It is my biggest fear, something happening to a child, your child, is unfathomable.
Bryan Cranston
Actors, writers, directors - that triumvirate of creativity - we have to rely and trust each other to be able to get to the final product.
Bryan Cranston
It used to be that people would watch TV shows because they knew the characters would stay the same. Whether it's Archie Bunker or it's Thomas Magnum you watch it because it's like, 'I'm comfortable, this is the same guy.'
Bryan Cranston
Had Malcolm in the Middle been picked up I would not have been available for the pilot of Breaking Bad. And right now someone else would be sitting in this chair talking to you. Not me.
Bryan Cranston
Something's happened in our society which I don't think is beneficial, and that's that you see the public being fed box-office news. Newscasts now, every local station - I've been traveling around the country a lot, and you see the local news, and they give box-office reports.
Bryan Cranston
If you like vanilla, you're not going to like 'Breaking Bad' - you need to like a specific flavor that is unusual, that is different, that takes risks.
Bryan Cranston
Luck is a component that a lot of people in the arts sometimes fail to recognise: that you can have talent, perseverance, patience, but without luck you will not have a successful career.
Bryan Cranston
In order to be an actor you really have to be one of those types of people who are risk-takers and have what is considered an actor's arrogance, which is not to say an arrogance in your personal life. But you have to be the type of person who wants the ball with seconds left in the game.
Bryan Cranston
It's mind-altering when you slip into someone else's shoes. That's psychedelic, man.
Bryan Cranston
Let me demonstrate. When you greet a friend this is the duration of the kiss that's acceptable. Hi, good to see you - yeah. When you make a mistake and stay too long at the lips, this is how long it is. Hi, how are you? Good to see you. And that's what happened. It was like, Uh-oh, what was that? Oh.
Bryan Cranston
[My father] had a massive middle-age breakdown. And left the family. And then it just completely fell apart. And my mother was heartbroken, just completely devastated. To make ends meet we started selling off all our possessions.
