On Flash, I thought of myself as a spice character; come in, do a little dance, and I go.

There'll be moments when I'm out in the prison yard, chatting with the cast and the crew, getting ready to shoot a scene. And then I'll remember if I were actually an inmate, I'd only be out there an hour. The other 23 hours of the day, I'd be in my cell. It's kind of a downer.

My family put a lot of emphasis on homework, so there weren't too many comic books or video games for me, when I was growing up.

A great book provides escapism for me. The artistry and the creativity in a story are better than any drugs.

I didn't come to Hollywood to get on magazine covers or start my Porsche collection or to enjoy that kind of lifestyle, to go to the right parties and meet the right people.

I'm kind of a dork. I don't have much game. I'm not particularly comfortable in bars or clubs. I much prefer being home playing Scrabble, having dinner with a couple friends, going to see a movie, or losing a whole weekend to Season 14 of Law and Order or The Simpsons.

Four months of preparation and about 12 hours of shooting turned into about 30 seconds of screen time.
