I Like Helping People Achieve Their Dreams

Bryan Cranston Has Got Such An Incredible Light Touch. He Comes In Egoless, But With Bold Opinions, And He Wants To Play. He Wants To Play. And That's What I've Seen In Great Actors All My Life And What I've Always Tried To Nurture And Keep In Myself Is That Joy Of Playing.

After Kids Leave The House, They Can Decide To Do Whatever They Want, But While They're Under My Roof, They're Going To Be Lawyers Or Writers Or Something, Something Important, Anything Except Actors.

Well I Was About To Be Expelled From School, I Had Been Arrested And A Teacher Said: "why Don't You Try Acting, Instead Of Distracting The Class? Why Don't You Use Your Comic Talent For Something More Productive?" My Maths Teacher Suggested I Do Comedy And I Decided To Have A Go. I Pursued It After That. I Was About 17.

I Did 40 Voices For Chris Wedge, The Director Of The First Film, Before Coming Up With The Version We Used. He Was Hard To Please, I Don't Know Why. I Gave Him Really Slow Talking Voices. Then I Thought Perhaps Sid Could Be An Indian Sounding Sloth. To Find Out More About My Character, I Watched Footage Of Sloths. I Discovered That The Food They Store In Their Pouches Rots And Ferments And Half The Time They're Drunk.

I Keep My Kids Out Of The Whole Business Entirely. Allegra And Lucas Are Five And Six And I'm Not Interested In Them Doing Any Acting At All. I Don't Want My Kids In Show Business. I Keep Them As Far Away From My Work As Possible.
