A Life in Parts @Bryan Cranston

I have spent my whole life scared, frightened of novels that could happen, might happen, might not happen, 50 years I
spent like that. I often found myself awake at three in the morning contemplating when I would write my memoir. But
you know what? Ever since my book deal, I sleep just fine. What I came to realize is that fear, thats the worst of it. Thats
the real enemy. So, get up, get out to a bookstore, buy my book and be elated that you no longer have to tread lightly for
not knowing who I am. Bryan Cranston as Walter White (not an actual quote; it was adapted to sell this book.) #27.00
