Prison Break is so far-fetched, I had to make viewers believe that Michael is capable of making the impossible possible.

My definition of cool is finding your own definition of cool and not necessarily taking your lead from what other people tell you or from what you might read from magazines or see on TV.

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.

If I were to wait only for roles that clarify my racial makeup, I'd be waiting for a very, very long time.

You might look at my CV and see I've had 12 jobs, but I've been to over 450 auditions so I've heard 'no' a lot more than I've heard 'yes'. So if I go in looking only to meet my own standards, then that will make taking that rejection a little bit easier. And when I do get that job it will seem like icing on the cake.

I feel extremely lucky, extremely grateful, and a little bittersweet, too.

I think what you learn, working on a film or TV set, is how to tune certain things out. You've got 60-100 people swirling around you, each of them with a very important job to do.
