- GQ: The reaction to Drive was a little bizarre.
- Aaron Paul: It's so weird. So many people just didn't get it. It was my favorite movie last year. It really was. I remember looking at Bryan and saying, "You lucky bastard. What a great role." It's something he'd never done before. And then Gosling. My god. That's a kid that I've known forever.
- GQ: You guys are about the same age, right?
- Aaron Paul: Yeah, right around the same. I just really look up to the choices he makes. I think he's an incredible talent and would love to work with him.
- GQ: What other directors?
- Aaron Paul: Rian Johnson's fresh in mind. He's just so brilliant and such an incredible writer. Or speaking of writer-slash-directors: Paul Thomas Anderson.
- GQ: Yeah, wow. I think he's the best there is.
- Aaron Paul: He's completely fucking unbelievable. I don't understand how he does it.
- GQ: What's the plan after Breaking Bad wraps?
- Aaron Paul: Not an idea. Maybe start accosting Paul Thomas Anderson. Seriously: turn this interview into a love letter to Paul Thomas Anderson, and kind of beg him to put me in a film. I don't care if it's as an extra, I'll do whatever.
