[Shit, that's a good question. Meaning it's a difficult one, something he'd know how to answer immediately with most anyone else, just not. Walter White. A few moments where he mulls it over, and then finally:]

Not particularly. [Slow, like he'd never really thought about it before.] I'd like to use my position here to better things, but...the sort of change we're talking about takes a lot more effort than finding criminals and putting them away. Causing change on a personal level, lasting and lingering, is a job in and of itself. I don't have the time or energy.

[Let him be considered a man who does what he can where he can and, at the end of the day, is too drained to put more work into personal projects. Side projects, people as pets. Winding them up and watching them go is more difficult when he has a family to return and spend time with, when he comes home from a day spent empathizing with others and just wants to be himself. Since White's apparently gotten the spiel about how Will was the devil's chosen beloved instead of the devil himself, it fits together nicely, doesn't it? Of course, Will can recognize that Jesse has an element of danger to him as well, must have, but that doesn't mean he wants to act on it unless he has to. Why can't Will be similar in that, hmm? A sleeping beast, waking only when absolutely necessary and never just for fun, just because he's curious. Without the influence of Hannibal Lecter nudging crazy men through his window to kill or be killed, why wouldn't he want to chill out and enjoy the peace as long as he can?

Will Graham is also a liar who plants small seeds all the time without expending effort into the process. Like this entire conversation.]
