If everyone were a good person, it'd obviously be a better world.
Aaron Paul
I'm obsessed with Radiohead. They're just the greatest band on the planet.
I live a good life but a pretty simply life. I just store all my money under my mattress. My wife and I travel, and I bought my dream car, the Cobra.
A lot of people get emotional in movies that are cartoons, but not in TV shows.
I moved back to Idaho when I was 6 or 7 and then lived in a little town called Twin Falls and then moved to Boise. So quite different from L.A. I'd been to Disneyland a couple of times, and that was the closest I'd been to L.A.
You feel like you're really a part of a movement when you're singing Journey at a karaoke bar.
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.
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.
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.
I always gravitate towards the independent side of things, just because those are the stories I always fall in love with, but you don't really get paid, and living in Los Angeles is expensive, and I have a mortgage to pay. So it's good to jump onto a studio film and then in all my other time do small passion projects.
I've been snowboarding my whole life. My wife's really good, and I just try to keep up with her.
My heart is in independent film-making. For me, it's where the fun, gritty storytelling is being told.
When I was a kid growing up, I used to watch 'DuckTales.'
I knew that I tend to always gravitate to the indie side of things.
I love diving into different skins, skins that make me feel deep emotions.
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.
I need to listen to chill music when I'm driving. It prevents road rage.
With this film, 'Need For Speed,' with this, we had a blank canvas to work with. What we had to do was have fast cars, and that's it.
The first part of my career, how I was paying the bills was commercials. I was just doing tons of commercials.
I love everyone over at Netflix. They're all fantastic and an absolute joy to work with.
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 was very driven in high school. I worked a bunch of odd jobs. I never partied. I never drank. I was just a theater geek who was obsessed with movies.
I'm just in love with Burberry. Always have been, always will be.
I got spoiled on 'Breaking Bad.' Playing the same guy for four or five seasons, you get to really explore who the character is.
I was on the snowboard team at my school, but that was the only sports team I was on. I played soccer growing up in elementary school.
I grew up all over Idaho - I was born in Emmett, a very small town.
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.
'Breaking Bad' has definitely opened many, many doors for me.
I never really thought of myself as being an action hero or a leading man or any of that. I'm a character actor.
I'm a character actor.
I get random meetings, like, 'Ron Howard would like to sit down with you.' 'Really?' If 'Breaking Bad' hadn't happened, Ron Howard probably wouldn't want to sit down with me. Because he would have no idea who I was.
I think by eighth grade I knew I wanted to be an actor. I'd done church plays and stuff, but my first actual acting class was in eighth grade. I was obsessed with it.
I love coming of age stories that have struggle.
People get in fights because they don't communicate, because you don't want to hurt the other person.
My first gig was a Corn Pops commercial. I did the first Vanilla Coke campaign. A Juicy Fruit commercial paid my bills for years.
It was the roughest day of my career, my final day of shooting on 'Breaking Bad,' knowing that I will never be able to kind of zip on that skin again.
There's three networks you want to be on: It's either AMC, HBO, or Showtime.
I'm trying to have some longevity in this business. If that means not working for a while and just picking the right job, so be it.
I have 14 nieces and nephews.
When I first started, I just wanted to work. I wouldn't necessarily do anything, but I'd pretty much almost do anything at the very beginning.
I mean, I've never really had much security, to be honest.
I think that for some people faith is good - they have something to draw to.
Thank you, Hollywood, for allowing me to be part of your group.
I saw a lot of people have success handed to them that then exploited it. They didn't protect it or cherish it.
I love playing odd roles.
I'm not a leading man.
I've grown so much, not just as an actor, but as a human being.
I didn't come from any money, but even when I was on 'Big Love' - people think you're on a series and you're making bank.
My favourite job hands down - and I think I can speak for everyone involved - was 'Breaking Bad.'
