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

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.

I hadn't worked for a year when I had my Prison Break audition and it was the easiest audition I've ever had. I got the script on Friday, went to the audition on Monday and got the part on Tuesday. I was shooting the pilot a week later. I didn't have time to be nervous - it happened so quickly.

I have very high expectations of myself. I'm a very competitive person but competitive with myself. I want to be the best that I can be and if that means that I'm eventually better than everyone else then so be it.

You develop a lot of scars, being interracial.

Nobody's ever asked me to pay for a meal before I've eaten it, I've never been pulled over just because I was driving the wrong kind of car in the wrong kind of area at the wrong time of night.

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