About Bryan Cranston: Bryan Lee Cranston is an American actor, voice actor, screenwriter, director and producer.
At my age, I don't think anyone is untouched by cancer.
I have some anger issues.
What's great about well-written material is, if you can shock with justifiable actions, that's the best.
Every experience feeds an actor, and I've learned that depression is all around us.
I want to be able to experience everything. I want to experience being a husband, experience being a father, experience, maybe, hopefully, someday being a grandfather, and all those things. I want that experience. When I die, I want to be exhausted.
If you have a level of expectation in your life that you have to be a quote-unquote star, whatever that means, you might be setting yourself up for failure.
I think, and I mean this sincerely, I was raised humbly. We were a lower middle income family and a household that was scrimping by at times. We were watching the dollar, stretching the dollar, and coupons. It was all those things.

What's great about comedy, obviously, is that you set up a situation that people assume one thing and then you break the assumption. That's basically the backbone to comedy. You set up a situation, let people make an assumption, and then you break th...
Love is not as important as good health. You cannot be in love if you're not healthy. You can't appreciate it.
My passion is becoming involved in good work, whether that means as an actor or writer or director or producer or all - that is not as important to me.

When you're an actor in grade school, high school, college, whatever, you start to realize what you're really good at, what you're kinda good at, what you're okay at, and you start to compartmentalize. But if you know yourself and what you're capable...
I enjoy doing comedy for the fact that you go to work and you laugh. That's a good combination.
