Actors basically are the type of person that with three seconds left, we want the ball. Give us the shot to make it or miss it. We'll take the lumps if we miss it, but we want the chance to get the glory.

More quotes by 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
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
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
It is my biggest fear, something happening to a child, your child, is unfathomable.
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
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
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
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
I love acting because it's empowering. It empowers me.
Bryan Cranston
With craziness, you can't predict it. There's very little defense you can have on craziness.
Bryan Cranston
I want to be done, and actually, go I had a good run. No regrets. I'm ready to step aside.
Bryan Cranston
Part of an actor's job is to draw up a back story.
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
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
I learned long ago to focus on things you can control and don't even pay attention to things you don't.
Bryan Cranston
It's up to the actor to make sure they don't get typecast.
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
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
Given the right set of circumstances any one of us could become dangerous - so why not show that in our programmes?
Bryan Cranston
Every experience feeds an actor, and I've learned that depression is all around us.
Bryan Cranston
