Status Updates From A Life in Parts

Weirdly, most of the ‘Breaking Bad’ stories so far are about times he was annoyed with or at odds with the writers/producers. I did like the talk about his philosophy of auditioning, though: of focusing on the process rather than the outcome. I’ve received similar advice in my own talk therapy sessions, though about relationship maintenance rather than screen acting.

There was a bizarre moment where he describes killing a girl—blood and bone and brain matter splattered across the wall—only for it to be an “it was all a dream” scenario. Very weird to drop in a memoir. That aside, it’s getting closer to the pop culture properties which made him famous and is getting more interesting as a result. I listened to a lot while working today, which I’ve curiously never done.
