Thing is, just the title alone will get some people interested: everyone has heard of Alcatraz, and they know that really bad people were there. Bad people are intriguing.

I used to work at this store called Music Plus in San Clemente, California, when I was growing up, and then they became Blockbuster Music, and, like, you had to get a haircut to work there, and at the time I had some pretty long hair. So after that policy was imposed, I knew that was going to be my last summer working there.

Mixing humour and harsh reality is a very human behaviour, it's the way people stay sane in their daily lives.

I definitely try to mix humour into anything I do, even if it is into a drama.

I'm perfectly happy doing nothing. I'll hang around the house and take the dog to the park.

People don't really want to know what happens. They ask you for just a second, but then they don't want to know.

JJ Abrams is definitely a guy that when he calls, you want to answer. He's incredibly focused. When he was shooting the pilot on 'Lost,' we'd do a take and he'd go back to his tent and be working on the first episodes of 'Lost' as well as the cliffhanger for the eighth season of 'Alias.' He's an incredible multitasker.
