“You can tell if you're going to be into a script within the first five or ten pages - if I'm not completely engaged by page 20, I just have to give up on it.”
“You've got to be picky in this business - if you're not, then I don't think you have the option of longevity. You've got to be choosy and try and do something that's outside of the box and dangerous. I love doing stuff that excites me, gives me that adrenalin rush.”
“It's so hard for me to kind of fall in love with comedy, but if something comes my way... I mean, I loved 'Weird,' I thought that was a really fun character.”
“I moved out to Los Angeles a fan of many people, and meeting people I put on a pedestal that just disappointed me. Without fans, this business would not exist, so I try and say that we're all on the same level.”
“People get in fights because they don't communicate, because you don't want to hurt the other person.”
“When I was a kid growing up, I used to watch 'DuckTales.'”
“I've grown so much, not just as an actor, but as a human being.”
“It's very exciting to be able to just work in this business, let alone on stuff you are extremely proud of. So it does make me a little nervous, because 'Breaking Bad' is so special. It's great being part of something so great because people pay attention to you, hopefully because you're doing good work.”
“My heart is in independent film-making. For me, it's where the fun, gritty storytelling is being told.”
“Yeah, I left Idaho at 17. You know, I graduated high school a year early and just, you know, the typical story, packed up my car and moved out.”
“It's so funny, I've done so many projects where I've been interrogated. I guest starred on almost every hour drama, and I'm always the guy they think is the bad guy but then they find out is not.”
“I've got to be honest and say that, growing up, I wasn't a big sports guy, but I love the camaraderie. I just love people getting together, fighting for a team and getting super-emotional about it.”
“I never really thought of myself as being an action hero or a leading man or any of that. I'm a character actor.”
“My dad didn't want me to listen to Zeppelin, I think because it reminded him of his wilder days, and now he's a retired Southern Baptist minister.”
“What's so great about Sundance is that they only accept such a small handful of films per year for dramatic competition, so you know when you're going to Sundance that you're going to see top-quality projects.”
“On a big film, there's almost no way you can meet everyone. On an indie, there are 30 people and no trailers to duck into.”
“I love coming of age stories that have struggle.”
“That's what's so great about television. You're able to tell this long story, where you couldn't really do that in a film because you have to tell a story in an hour and a half or two hours.”
“The first album I ever bought with my own money was 'Ten.' Every single song reminds me of my childhood.”
“'Breaking Bad' has definitely opened many, many doors for me.”
