Aaron Paul quotes:

My first gig was a Corn Pops commercial. I did the first Vanilla Coke campaign. A Juicy Fruit commercial paid my bills for years.

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.

When you're mid-season, in very intense situations, it's hard not to take that home with you. Especially when you're sleeping, you can't control what you dream about. And it sneaks into the unconscious.

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 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.

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 need to listen to chill music when I'm driving. It prevents road rage.

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've got to be honest and say that, growing up, I wasn't a big sports guy, but I love the camaraderie. I just love people getting together, fighting for a team and getting super-emotional about it.

Wait, so @ToysRUs pulled all of the Breaking Bad figures from their shelves and still sells Barbie? Hmmmm...I wonder what is more damaging?

I love diving into different skins, skins that make me feel deep emotions.

I love coming of age stories that have struggle.

Breaking Bad' was such a high plateau.

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.

My heart is in independent film-making. For me, it's where the fun, gritty storytelling is being told.

My family never owned a home. We leased.

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

I got spoiled on 'Breaking Bad.' Playing the same guy for four or five seasons, you get to really explore who the character is.

My favourite job hands down - and I think I can speak for everyone involved - was 'Breaking Bad.'

It's all about trying to be very careful about what your next role or what your next move is gonna be. It's all about trying to have longevity in this business and make smart choices.

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.

I definitely had a very religious upbringing. My father was just instilling good morals into us at a very young age, and it wasn't super-strict, but it was a loving, warm household.

It's so hard for me to kind of fall in love with comedy, but if something comes my way... I mean, I loved 'Weird,' I thought that was a really fun character.

I rode a shark once. I wouldn't recommend it. It was fun, but I thought I was going to get eaten the entire time! Nothing against sharks. I love sharks. I just don't think we are meant to ride them.

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.

I love playing odd roles.

I drive a 1965 Shelby Cobra. I love classic muscle cars.

I knew that I tend to always gravitate to the indie side of things.

I don't understand why every guy is not a romantic. I enjoy it.

The first part of my career, how I was paying the bills was commercials. I was just doing tons of commercials.

I grew up all over Idaho - I was born in Emmett, a very small town.

I'M A HOPELESS ROMANTIC

I have 14 nieces and nephews.

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.

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.

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.

My father's a Southern Baptist minister. I wasn't lighting cars on fire; I just wasn't.

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.

There's three networks you want to be on: It's either AMC, HBO, or Showtime.

I'm obsessed with Radiohead. They're just the greatest band on the planet.

'Breaking Bad' was such a high plateau.

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 took a whole stunt course and pretty much got certified as a stunt driver. It's ridiculous how easy it is once you understand the car and know how to do it.

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.

That's what's so great about television. You're able to tell this 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 love everyone over at Netflix. They're all fantastic and an absolute joy to work with.

I saw a lot of people have success handed to them that then exploited it. They didn't protect it or cherish it.

My wife and I do not argue. We communicate. We talk. But we've never fought in our entire relationship.

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.

A lot of people get emotional in movies that are cartoons, but not in TV shows.

If everyone were a good person, it'd obviously be a better world.

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.

I just don't like to ask for things.

I love stories that put you on the edge of your seat and make you feel something.

Love love and cherish life. Also, just eat the cake.

I think that for some people faith is good - they have something to draw to.

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.

I have had viewers that come up to me, and they're, like, "You know, we used to watch ('Breaking Bad') as a family, and once the melted body came falling through the ceiling, my mom was just, like, 'I can't watch this show anymore. This is just way too disturbing for me.' So it's not for everybody.

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

I would be lying if I didn't admit there might be a scene in the movie where there might be alcohol in my system.

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

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

When I was six all I could think about was ding-dongs and yo-yos.

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

I'm not a leading man.

I'm a character actor.

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

I'm obsessed with concerts.

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 love cars, I have two classic cars of my own.

My end goal is just to do projects at the end of the day that I'm proud of.

I don't really seem to gravitate to romantic comedies.

I do tend to gravitate to the more dramatic side of things. I love feeling intense emotions when I'm acting. I just love characters and stories with conflict.

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