“ I have a theory — our job isn’t to lie to the audience, our job is to find the truth in the character. If we lie, we’re giving the audience a little pinch of poison. They won’t even know they ingested it. But if you lie again and again and again, all of a sudden, your audience is going, ‘This isn’t working for me.’ They just feel sick, and they turn you off.”
Bryan Cranston, quoted in a terrific NYT Magazine piece on Breaking Bad, which is about to start airing its fourth season. (via thebronzemedal)
Great perspective on story telling and universal themes - I love how they note that karma is like a character in the show.

It was terrific! I’m planning on posting a different quote from that piece later today; I couldn’t help but notice the juxtaposition of a few interesting lines in that & other articles in this week’s mag.
