PASADENA, Calif.—Bob Odenkirk is still processing his feelings after suffering a massive heart attack in July 2021 and says a big takeaway is to strive for a better work-life balance.

“I don’t think I’ve figured it out yet,” the actor said Tuesday while attending a biannual gathering of TV critics. “I have to do a better job because we don’t get to carry on forever. We just don’t … I want to make the right choices so I can feel like I’m doing the best I can with the time I have left, the things that I love in this world. And I don’t think I’ve figured it out yet, but I’m working on it.”
