More quotes by 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
I want to make sure that what I do has specific purpose and is not just throwing a dart at something to keep busy.

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
It's up to the actor to make sure they don't get typecast.

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
When actors first come up, you're auditioning for everything - you're trying to sniff it out like a pig with a truffle and you would do anything!
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
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
Given the right set of circumstances any one of us could become dangerous - so why not show that in our programmes?
Bryan Cranston
It's mind-altering when you slip into someone else's shoes. That's psychedelic, man.
Bryan Cranston
Pot always just made me sleepy.
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
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
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
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.
