Giancarlo Esposito

Giancarlo: Albuquerque is special to me. When we're flying in, almost over that box-shaped mountain, I get moved... I'm moved by being outdoors. I'm an outdoors person; I'm a runner, a skier, a biker. I'm interested in spirituality and in religion and our relationship to the divine. And when I get in Albuquerque, man, and I can see as far as the eye can see… Is it brown and dry? Yeah. Does it bother me? No. There's been some really incredible indigenous cultures have lived there and they have mesas and they have spiritual places and they have people who walk on the highway to a certain church for days on end to worship.

Giancarlo: (on taking various roles) I [want] to bring a favorable and positive image to African-Americans. I felt like the audiences that do watch my career make me who I am. Of course, you guys, as writers and journalists who admire my work, can write about it and talk about it and I'm forever grateful for that, because you recognize some talent there. But I want to be able to bring my talents to fruition in different ways and play different roles.

Giancarlo: (Asked if he would like to direct on Breaking Bad) I sure hope so! I've talked to Vince Gilligan about the possibility. Bryan Cranston is a big supporter of the idea. I love this show because its the closest thing to movies on TV. We make mini movies every week which is a way to be highly creative with the camera, blending that great writing that that's given to us by the writers.
