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.

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.

I think ultimately that's why the audience will tune in longterm, for the characters and the relationships.

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.

You're confronted with the quandary: do I grind things to a halt? Ideally you would, but I have better things to do than educate people.

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

Unfortunately, I'm allergic to all animals and even some people.
