“I feel like we’ve seen a lot of love from Hank for Marie, and in this season [4] we really get to see how she loves him. You know, when you take your vows, when you get married, you say for better, for worse, good, bad, sickness, health… and they really live it. We get to watch them do that.” —Betsy Brandt

"We don’t set out to make the show shocking. I know you’re rolling your eyes when you’re (reading) this, but it’s true. We’re telling a very dark story and we’re involved in a very dark world, and to paint it as anything less than unpleasant would be disingenuous. We’re looking to be showmen and women, trying to give the audience something to talk about the next day around the water cooler. But the ultimate goal isn’t to be gruesome or bloody — it’s to be dramatic."

"This season, Breaking Bad was more than a good thing; it was a great thing where performance, ­direction, concept, and ­hallucinatory New Mexico location photography all came together with the power of a bomb wired to a wheelchair. Bryan ­Cranston and Aaron Paul turned in the best performances I’ve seen in years, and Giancarlo Esposito (as Gus Fring) is simply the best villain ever on a ­continuing TV show. The ultimate showdown between Gus and Walter is mythic, the outcome simultaneously satisfying and completely surprising. Breaking Bad has now surpassed The Sopranos, and, although I love Steve Buscemi, HBO’s Boardwalk Empire isn’t even in the running. Breaking Bad is an American classic."

“Everything that she thought she knew to be the truth isn’t the truth anymore. So what does a person do with that? And how does the relationship survive that? She thought the worst thing would be that he was having an affair, and to discover that it’s this… I’m fascinated by the idea of thinking that you know somebody, that you think maybe something’s wrong, but never— How could somebody in their wildest dreams imagine that their partner would be doing this? He’s sort of every man who goes on his journey, and she’s every woman, and what does she do with this now? What choices does she make?” —Anna Gunn
