More quotes by 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
[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
As a director you come in and tell the actors how good they are.
Bryan Cranston
Something's happened in our society which I don't think is beneficial, and that's that you see the public being fed box-office news. Newscasts now, every local station - I've been traveling around the country a lot, and you see the local news, and they give box-office reports.
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
I have a bad habit of inserting my ideas into shots and things. I don't know, I don't hold back on suggesting things, but I don't have any connection to what actually happens, so I'll make a suggestion on something and then just let it go.
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
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
Ever since I stopped worrying about finances, I've made more money than I ever thought I'd make in my life.
Bryan Cranston
Pot always just made me sleepy.
Bryan Cranston
Good storytelling doesn't have to be in the form of the classics. It doesn't have to be revered by everybody. In fact, to me, the best storytelling is not universally loved by every single person. I think you can water down the ethicacy of the work, itself.
Bryan Cranston
It's mind-altering when you slip into someone else's shoes. That's psychedelic, man.
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
Part of an actor's job is to draw up a back story.
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
Love between two adults is always conditional. You can fall out of love because you are able to fall in love.
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
You get addicted to emotions. Our endorphins kick in and it's like a high. On the low end you might love roller coasters. On the high end you might be a bank robber or something.
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.
