That I can be completely focused on a goal and work long past what I thought my endurance was, when I have to.

• Director Michelle MacLaren is the John Cage of this malevolent silence, able to wield it as precisely as a pointillist with a paintbrush. And with 'To'hajiilee,' the final episode of Breaking Bad she'll ever direct, she has painted her masterpiece.

I couldn't wait for it to be over but I never wanted it to end. And I especially never wanted it to end like that.
