“You look at anything, and you're like, 'Is this as good as 'Breaking Bad?'' It took a while for me to stop comparing every project that comes my way to that. That's one of the reasons I wanted to do 'Life in Pieces.' I just want something that's a 180. I just wanna do something completely different.”

“I believe gelato is meant to be treated as medicine and taken daily as a prescription.”

“I feel 'Breaking Bad' - maybe everybody says this about their show - I feel like this show is so special that I don't 'know' that I necessarily really know what it's like to do a regular show.”

“I can tell you, we had a lot of fun at 'Breaking Bad.' You have to.”

“That undeniable love for your child... that's something I totally get. And the bumps in the road, too. Like, any parent that thinks they have a perfect relationship with their child is a liar, or they're just not present.”

“Everybody - even huge movie stars - have downs. That's just how it is. The work ebbs and flows. My manager and I were saying, 'Let's remember that in 2013 we were soooo busy.' So whenever it is that we're not, maybe it'll come back again. Maybe it won't. But you've gotta love the ride.”

“Sunday I try to make up for some sleep I lost the week before and bank some for the next week.”

“Listen, I'm always going to defend my character, even when she's doing something that I don't approve of, because that's what you have to do to love them and play them.”

“I would watch 'All In The Family' with my babysitter.”

“In high school, a teacher's friend in the police department asked me to go into a bar and flash a fake ID saying I was 21 even though I wasn't. They were assuming the bar wasn't carding people. Anyway, she forgot to ask for it back. I used it all freshman year in college.”

“Compared to the other work I've done on TV, 'Breaking Bad' was funny. In the beginning, I described it as a dark comedy.”

“My earliest memories would be 'Little House On The Prairie.' I also really liked watching 'Three's Company.'”

“I love opening night, and I love doing plays. But one of my favorite parts about doing a play or working on a new play is rehearsal.”

“It'd be great to do some other TV. 'Breaking Bad' is definitely my home, but I'd love to have a nice hiatus gig, like a recurring role. Or to do a good film. I'd like to do a Woody Allen movie. I really didn't have a plan, and that's okay with me.”

“I like to do Italian food on Sunday nights. We'll either go somewhere, and the whole family will go, or we'll stay in our apartment and watch a movie and enjoy one of the huge perks of living in New York City, which is that you can have anything delivered.”

“For me, I think you make a choice what kind of actor you want to be, and then it's kind of the material you choose.”

“I like 'Mad Men,' and I think 'The Killing' is pretty great too. I like 'Brothers & Sisters.'”

“Hank Schrader is a really good guy - and so is Dean Norris.”

“Honestly, one of the reasons I wanted to do a comedy next was that I just kept thinking, 'I don't want to chase the next 'Breaking Bad,' because honestly, there may never be one.' I couldn't imagine any other drama comparing. And I just wanted to laugh.”

“After you leave a show - any show, but for me especially after 'Breaking Bad' - you hope for a job to help soften the blow now that you don't have this amazing job anymore, and you hope that it's good.”
