More quotes by 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
Money has never been my primary goal.
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
There's boldness in being assertive there's strength and confidence.
Bryan Cranston
Bad for the sake of bad is boring to me and not believable.
Bryan Cranston
Every experience feeds an actor, and I've learned that depression is all around us.
Bryan Cranston
It is my biggest fear, something happening to a child, your child, is unfathomable.
Bryan Cranston
It's like a dance, to choreograph a fight is like a dance. It's very specific. You have to carefully plan it out. Because if someone gets hurt, then we didn't do our job, someone screwed up. The fight choreographers and the actors involved, we messed up somewhere.
Bryan Cranston
I have talked to stunt drivers all my life, 32 years of talking to stunt drivers. There's a craziness to them.
Bryan Cranston
There's so many things that can go wrong in the execution of a project like a television show or a movie, so many little elements, any number of things, all the way to marketing - like they could market it poorly and nobody finds it and down it goes.
Bryan Cranston
I learned long ago to focus on things you can control and don't even pay attention to things you don't.
Bryan Cranston
I want to make sure that what I do has specific purpose and is not just throwing a dart at something to keep busy.
Bryan Cranston
I enjoy storytelling. I like to write it, I like to direct it, I like to act in it, I like to produce it. I like to be around storytellers. That's what excites me.
Bryan Cranston
It's a familiar story now: a meek and depressed high school chemistry teacher with terminal cancer cooks up a scheme to make and market a superior grade of methamphetamine to provide a nest egg for his family after he's gone. But over the course of five seasons Walter White goes from milquetoast to murderous in order to survive.
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
When you're directing an ongoing series, the tone has already been set. So a director will come in and fulfill that tone - reinforce the characters and their behavior. The challenge is to find unique ways that you can visually tell the story while keeping the established tone and the pace and the characters.
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
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
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
Part of an actor's job is to draw up a back story.
