Here are few of his quotes that show he is the one who call the shots:
Walter White to Jesse:
“Jesse, you asked me if I was in the meth business or the money business. Neither. I’m in the empire business.”
Walter White to Skyler:
“Look, Skyler, I just haven’t quite been myself lately. I haven’t been myself lately, but I love you. Nothing about that has changed, and nothing ever will. So right now, what I need is for you to climb down out of my ass. Can you do that? Will you do that for me, honey? Will you please, just once, get off my ass. You know, I’d appreciate it. I really would.”
Walter White (voice-mail):
“You clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No! I am the one who knocks!”
Walter White to Declan:
“Say my name”; “You’re Heisenberg”; “You’re god damned right I am!”
Walter White (on phone):
“You’re never going to see Hank again. He crossed me! You think about that! Family or no. You let that sink in.”
Walter White to Tuco:
“This… is not meth.” It was actually an explosive chemical compound that explodes and blows the entire floor of the building. Tuco finally gives him the money.
Walter White to a Drug addict on the Street:
“Stay out of my territory”
