Part of me it really comes from comedy just really wants to make the audience happy.
Plus, its fun to play him.
The truth is its easier to play Saul than Jimmy.

Its not as rewarding.
But Saul is kind of pure fun.
After playing Jimmy for so long, how did it feel to get back into Saul for that moment?
Hes simple to play, relative to Jimmy.
And its a lot of fun.
I dont think a show where youre just Saul all the time would be great fun to do.
Because hes burned a lot of himself down.
I mean, hes just a schemer who talked fast and thought pretty fast.
And outside of that, there wasnt much else.
You know who he is, and youre like, Wow, dude.
You really went down!
You really came way down on the scale of human value.
Sauls cutting through the Constitution to get the shoebox was a nice touch.
Hes hiding behind the Constitution in a way.
There are videotapes of his commercials and there are passports.
Im sure theres money in there.
He didnt do any of that.
None of that happened.
Anything you could hint about that?I cant give you a hint because I dont have any idea.
I think its a wonderful thing.
But its just really nice to just go there and just give them Saul.
Stop feeling like, Are we going to see him?
But just go there and get to see him.
Even as Walt turned evil onBreaking Bad, many fans still rooted for him.
Here, Jimmy continues his descent into the underworld.
How badshouldwe feel for Jimmy?I think you should feel really bad for him.
It doesnt need to be like that.
So I think his story is very sad.
Now, his story isnt over when he becomes Saul.
I really, really believe thats true.
How much of a turning point/lost opportunity was that?Its a huge lost opportunity.
But he just makes a weak and scared choice.
He doesnt want that self-reflection to go that deep.
Hes a character whos capable of self-reflection, but its going away.
That dimension of himself is definitely going away.
That can be your title.
There is more untold heartbreak to come.
There are multiple elements to his downfall, and who knows?
Maybe he gets to put his life back together again.
Because we dont know where the story ends.
I get to be really silly.
