More quotes by Bryan Cranston
It's up to the actor to make sure they don't get typecast.
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
Every time you start a project, you're hopeful that the critics receive it warmly.
Bryan Cranston
I have a lovely family who supports me and it's great.
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
With craziness, you can't predict it. There's very little defense you can have on craziness.
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
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 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
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
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
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 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
Part of an actor's job is to draw up a back story.
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
I think if you believe in past lives, I must have been an extremely deprived being. I must have been mistreated, beaten, and forced into indentured servitude because this life has just been phenomenal.
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 the sun is shining, make hay, because it would be sunset on my career at some point, and when it is, I want to be exhausted.
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
