great men
I like 'Mad Men,' and I think 'The Killing' is pretty great too. I like 'Brothers & Sisters.'
amazing both fox life pilots turned
When I read both pilots for 'Breaking Bad' and the 'Michael J. Fox Show,' I turned to my husband in real life, and I'm like, 'That is an amazing script.'
everybody maybe regular
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.
amazing blow good help hope job leave
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.
next
I'd like to be on the next 'Six Feet Under,' whatever that is.
favorite love parts
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.
I can tell you, we had a lot of fun at 'Breaking Bad.' You have to.
best
For 'Breaking Bad,' it was like, that's one of the best pilots, probably the best pilot I have ever read.
elementary favorite great knows says seen son though watch
My son is pre-K and my daughter is in elementary school. So they don't watch the show. But my son knows that I'm on it - he says that 'Breaking Bad' is his favorite show even though he's never seen it. It's really great that he says that, because it makes me look like mother of the year.
believe meant taken
I believe gelato is meant to be treated as medicine and taken daily as a prescription.
allen definitely good great hiatus home love nice okay recurring woody
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.
bad developed fart goof however worked
For me, I need to be able to show up on set and fart around and goof around. If I can have that, when I'm not acting, then when I'm acting I can go however deep and dark and bad I need to. I developed that more with 'Breaking Bad' because I've never worked on anything as dark for as long.
asked assuming bar department flash forgot freshman friend high id police saying teacher though year
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.

The drama takes a toll on you.
