Jonathan Banks Quotes

• Boy I could do this forever; I truly enjoy bad guys.
• Forty-five years since I made my first paycheck, and I’m telling you that ‘Breaking Bad’ is as good as it gets.
• I grew up in Washington, D.C. Suffice to say, it was not a garden spot.
• I honestly do feel – and I hope I don’t gag anybody if they read this – but I feel like I’m one of the luckiest people in the world.
• Thank God for theater and film and television and my very, very, very lucky life.
• ‘Wiseguy’ for its time was good. It was really good. And it holds up still. But a lot of the restraints have been taken off now.
• I grew up in Chillum Heights in the Washington, D.C. area., and it was never a garden spot. When guys go, ‘Hey, when I grew up, my neighborhood was tough, and it was this and that’… the reality is that it was just a terribly sad place. And thank God, I was able to escape it.
• I have no trouble walking around. But every once in a while, somebody will come, during the course of the day, and say, ‘Oh, I recognize you from such-and-such,’ and yeah, they’ll make a connection. I think for the most part, people don’t go, ‘Where do I know him from? Does he work at the bank?’
• I love Russell Crowe’s line to Oliver Reed in ‘Gladiator’ where he asks him, ‘Are you in danger of becoming a good man?’ It’s one of my favorite lines ever.
• I’ve died so many times. I’m 65. On my 40th birthday, my girlfriend gave me a reel with ways I had died, whether it was by knife, or electrocution or drowning or being thrown off a building or whatever it might have been. I’ve died a lot of times!
• I’ve got eighteen-year-old twins that need to go to college, so there’s still a financial issue, but I could retire tomorrow and just count ducks by the side of the lake, and that would be just fine by me. I’m not a high-energy guy.
• If you had told me in the Seventies and Eighties that TV would be as edgy or edgier than most films, and more intelligently written than most films, I wouldn’t have believed it. There’s great stuff out there.
• The funniest guy I’ve ever worked with – it’s just one of those things, again, where we look at each other and just laugh – is Jimmy Byrnes from ‘Wiseguy.’ Jimmy – we can’t be in the same room together. He knows he can make me laugh just by looking at me.
• When I walk onto a set, no matter what it is, I always do the very best work that I can. But I’m not braindead, and I want to do things that I want to do, you know?
