It's the way the business works, you're not just an actor, you're a diplomat and a publicist and a politician, and there are certain expectations.

My rule is you want someone whos got both feet on the ground. An ideal girlfriend might be someone who works in the business and can understand what youre going through but is not an actor themselves - is willing to run lines with you but when you start acting crazy, they throw up their hands and take you for what you are and be accepting.

I want to aspire to something like what Denzel Washington does, which is try to find scripts written for white actors - or Jodie Foster, who reads scripts for male actors.

My character in 'Prison Break' needs to be formidable. In reality, I'm not very tough at all.

I think it's necessary when you're dealing with a dark show that has explosion and violence to have defined moments of lightness and humor, even romance. It's important, and it deepens the character, of course.

You only cry for help if you believe there is help to cry for.

I have my own personal wish list.
