More quotes by 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
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
Money has never been my primary goal.

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'm just a big boy, I'm still just playing cowboys and Indians and astronaut and baseball player and all that stuff that I used to play as a kid.
Bryan Cranston

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

Bryan Cranston
We've been trained since kindergarten: Be nice, be kind, share, put on a smile. So we're conditioned to squash our natural selfish instincts, and that's the right thing for society.
Bryan Cranston
Every time you start a project, you're hopeful that the critics receive it warmly.
Bryan Cranston
Love between two adults is always conditional. You can fall out of love because you are able to fall in love.
Bryan Cranston
When you're an actor in grade school, high school, college, whatever, you start to realize what you're really good at, what you're kinda good at, what you're okay at, and you start to compartmentalize. But if you know yourself and what you're capable of, it's just a matter of opportunity.
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
With craziness, you can't predict it. There's very little defense you can have on craziness.
Bryan Cranston
In fact, I told our dear friends, the Burrell boys, five boys lived next door to us. Why, we don't see your dad anymore? Oh, yeah. Yeah. He - I lied. I said, He comes home at night when you guys are in bed. He gets us up and we play. I said it so much that I started to believe it myself, you know?
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
[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.
Bryan Cranston
Given the right set of circumstances any one of us could become dangerous - so why not show that in our programmes?
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
