[on filming Breaking Bad (2008) in Albuquerque] I actually hated it during the pilot. I loved working, obviously. But I would just go to work and then go back to the hotel and I couldn’t find much to do. But when we started shooting the series I fell in love with the city. I’m from Boise, Idaho and it reminds me of a bigger version of that place. It’s just nice to get away from the hustle of Los Angeles and the skies are endless out there. It’s like a beautiful painting every day.

There’ve been some big studio films that have come my way that I just didn’t think were the right direction for me to go in. I really believe that if you want some sort of longevity in this business, it’s all about picking the right roles. Finally, this is the first time in my career I’m able to work [based on] the roles, and not to survive, so I’m just trying to be picky. I just want the right project. I’d rather not work than work on something that I’m not so unbelievably excited about. Maybe that’s the wrong choice, but I don’t really care, to be honest. I just want to do something, even if it’s just a small little indie, that really makes me excited, that’s very story-driven, character-driven and doesn’t need those big explosions or car chases.
