“I love characters that are going through turmoil. To be honest, I love characters with conflict. I love characters who are really going through an emotional journey; whether it’s a super-dark-crazy journey or a really relatable guy.”

I never really thought of myself as being an action hero or a leading man, or any of that. I’m a character actor.

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’ve grown so much, not just as an actor, but as a human being.

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.

Thank you, Hollywood, for allowing me to be part of your group.

I have 14 nieces and nephews.

I’m a character actor.

I’m obsessed with concerts.

I’m not a leading man.

I filmed myself drunk, just to see what I’m like. I watched so many funny videos of people drunk on YouTube.

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.

What’s so great about television. You’re able to tell a 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.

I mean, I’ve never really had much security, to be honest.

That’s the wonder of the internet. It’s the power of numbers: get enough people to retweet something, someone might see it.

There’s the really angry drunk, who’s just annoying to be around. I prefer the drunk who falls all over the place and is being completely inappropriate. Or the super-loud, happy drunk, which is evidentially what I am.

The best way to watch Breaking Bad is in the fetal position, sobbing.

The end of the First World War had thrown Germany’s youth into great turmoil. The reins of power had fallen from the hands of a deeply disillusioned older generation, and the younger ones drew together in larger and smaller groups to blaze new paths or, at least, to discover a new star to steer by.

As a society in turmoil, we are going to see more, and more various, attempts to simulate order through repression; and art is a historical target for such efforts.

Read for yourselves, read for the sake of your inspiration, for the sweet turmoil in your lovely head.
