The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Mark Margolis
- I was a student of Stella Adler and then later Lee Strasberg, and they were into sensory work. At its best, acting is not about words – even when the words are important.
- Honestly, all of ‘Breaking Bad’ was the best television experience of my entire life – the writing, the crew, the other actors.
- I’m an actor. I was trained by Stella Adler, one of the greatest teachers of the world. I was 19 years old, and she frightened me to death. I was her houseboy for a while.

- I saw an Emmy ad that AMC took out with all the ‘Breaking Bad’ nominees’ photos, and there’s my picture from the show. It’s like World’s Ugliest Man – I’m an automatic winner in that category.
- You don’t play villains like they are villains. You play them like you know exactly where they are coming from. Which hopefully you do.
- I’m in my apartment in trendy Tribeca. I’ve been down here for 37 years, from before it was a fashionable neighbourhood. It’s a wonderful place; it looks over the Hudson River. I can see 30 miles into New Jersey. My landlord would like me to die because the rent is very low. I’m trying to outlive him. He can get a lot more if I disappear.
- I’m addicted to New York, and I like L.A., as I have kids there. Sometimes I think New Mexico is the one place where I could almost live there. It helps your acting; there’s magic in that place.
- A lot of the people that stop you – well, they’re not nuts, exactly. They’re more like super-fans. They think that I’m some sort of rich guy, that everyone in the movies is making the kind of money Angelina Jolie is making. They don’t realize that most of my life has been a struggle.
- There is an endless range of parts I have not played. I would love to do a whole slew of period pieces. I also used to do a lot of stage work, and I would like to go back to that from time to time.
