In an interview with The New York Post, Aaron Paul spoke about his character Caleb from the third season of Westworld, who he said was “complex.” Here are highlights:

On his character Caleb: “Caleb is a very complex character. He’s a construction worker, a blue-collar guy just trying to survive in this chaotic world. I just love the challenges that he faces. His introduction to Dolores and that world was very exciting for me. I am such a huge fan of Evan [Rachel Wood]. I absolutely adore her, and to be able to work alongside someone so fun and so professional is obviously a dream come true. That is not always the case. I’m constantly inspired by her.”

On joining Westworld: “Really excited to get a peek behind the velvet curtains per se and see what [Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy] had in store. They said that Caleb would be the character that introduces the audience to the outside world of Westworld. This season really takes the audience outside of the park and shows everyone the society that we are all living in.”

On technology: “It informs us but also I think it’s taking away a lot of the joys of living. I pride myself on not owning a computer. I am rarely around my phone. I have thousands of unread emails. I have my phone down and my head up. That’s kind of how I live my life. Someone said this quote to me, like, ‘Birds don’t carry anything; because of that, they’re able to fly.’ I love that. We don’t need much. I think people forget how beautiful this planet is. They get distracted by the things in their hands and in their pockets.”
