It's weird how with a TV show, you don't have just the one ending - you have the many.

More quotes by Vince Gilligan
If you’re too rigid in your thinking you may miss some wonderful opportunities for storytelling.
Vince Gilligan
Having certain limits - not too many, but certain limits on an ability to tell a story - makes us work harder, me and my writers. Sometimes I watch a giant movie with a $250 million budget and I think they feel kind of bloated, and that if they'd been leaner and meaner they might've had better storytelling.
Vince Gilligan
I love cable, but not because you can show boobies and say the F-word. I love it because you have more time to think. That's the blessing of it.
Vince Gilligan
In all honesty, I've written movies that have been made, and the process has not been as satisfying as writing for television.
Vince Gilligan
I stay away from the internet as much as I can. Except for pornography.
Vince Gilligan
People want what they want, for as long as they want it, then tastes change and something else works.
Vince Gilligan
It's often the case with successful TV shows that they kind of inadvertently live on past their prime. It's best to leave the audience wanting more.
Vince Gilligan
Whatever it takes to get you where you need to be, there's nothing wrong with the method acting or having to growl and bang your head in a corner and get into the moment and work yourself into a lather - if that's what it takes, so be it.
Vince Gilligan
The last thing in the world that I would want to know, in my own life, is when I'm going to pass away.
Vince Gilligan
It's like that old expression: Men plan and god laughs. You sort of see that in the television world, where you have an idea where things are heading and you have a plan and sort of start off in that general direction, but you wind up taking all these side paths and whatnot - if you're lucky.
Vince Gilligan
What's so great about making television is that it's a collaborative beast. It's created by a great many hands belonging to a great many people.
Vince Gilligan
[Making meth] is a complex process. The truth of it is that we live in a post-Google world where you can find six recipes for meth in 30 seconds on a search engine.
Vince Gilligan
I wanna keep being productive and creative.
Vince Gilligan
I want to believe there's a heaven. But I can't not believe there's a hell.
Vince Gilligan
TV is where writers get to tell interesting stories. Because writers, for the most part, run television.
Vince Gilligan
I've imparted that philosophy to the writers, but some of them look stuff up while some don't. Same with the editors, directors and actors. To each their own.
Vince Gilligan
Let the audience put 2 and 2 together so that it comes up with 4. Let them do that themselves, and they'll love you forever.
Vince Gilligan
Endings are the hardest part. I find there's a great relief that at the end of every episode, every hour of TV you produce, while you want a proper and satisfying ending, it doesn't have to end The Story, in capital letters.
Vince Gilligan
I think that for me, as far as audience expectations and how you manage your anxiety, it helps to keep things in perspective.
Vince Gilligan
I'm not a big internet guy - not because I'm not interested in what people have to say, but probably because I'm too interested.
Vince Gilligan
