BOB ODENKIRKWhen they’re doing a stupid role in a bad production, it’s kind of a dumb thing to do when you’re an adult. When you’re doing a great role that’s well-written, it’s an enviable job.
BOB ODENKIRKI pretty much read reviews and comments only looking for the negative. Literally, when I read positive comments, it’s like a zero. I think the issue is if you agree with it or not.
BOB ODENKIRKIn the end, the thing that really stays with you is not that you were clever enough to connect a sketch to another sketch, but what really sticks with you is when you just have an incredible moment happen, or execute a really funny idea.
BOB ODENKIRKThe alternative scene, for a couple years now, has been taken seriously and that’s a cool thing. I don’t think it’s exploded or anything, but I think it’s pretty cool that it still exists, it’s still affecting people.

BOB ODENKIRKYou get to use everything you learned in movie business. You talk to actors, if you do it right – and I haven’t always done it right – you should be shaping the material all the time.
BOB ODENKIRKThe world needs less destruction.
BOB ODENKIRKYou’re not just a part of the team. You’re really in charge, and the responsibility falls on you if all the components aren’t there for a worthwhile film.
BOB ODENKIRKWhen you envy actors, only envy them for their good roles. Keep in mind they have to do a lot of roles to make a living, and not all of them are good.
BOB ODENKIRKI pursue those kinds of ideas more. The world needs less destruction. And destruction is kind of “easy,” too.
