«[Meanwhile, within the prison walls, a little bit more of Michael's plans come into view each week -- only, however, for those who know where to look.] Each episode is going to have a number of puzzles for viewers to solve, and there are six or seven different subplots swirling around, ... It's really going to be something that rewards the attentive and patient viewer.»

«It takes about four to five hours to apply, if you've got two people working on you, ... It's a series of decals that fit together like puzzles. They're kind of more sophisticated versions of what you might find in a Cracker Jack box. You lay it down, spray it, peel it off, then seal it with glue and paint in the filler parts. It's apparently the most complicated imitation tattoo ever created, done by the art house that did all the special effects for 'The Passion of the Christ.'»

«You've got 150 years of fear and violence and pain soaked into those walls, but the overall mood there is one of despair.»

«'Prison Break' is a thriller, but it's really a family drama, ... It's really the story of: How far would one go to save a loved one? And in Michael's case, it's to the wall. Each episode will be his resolve and ruthlessness and brilliance running smack into the brick wall that is chance and fate and human nature and all those things you cannot predict or prepare for.»

«The prison helps a great deal in keeping me grounded in the character, ... When you're surrounded by 3-foot thick walls, you really understand how impossible his task is.»

«[A ghostly side note: Soldier boy Miller played a Lucifer-like character in the final two episodes of Joan of Arcadia. Coincidence?] I do find it strangely poetic, ... that a character who shows up on a show about God to play something kind of satanic winds up in the very last two episodes of that show, and then appears in the show that replaces that show on its exact time and night the following season.»

«All he has is his wits. He's not a superhero. He doesn't have any Jackie Chan martial-arts moves, ... And every episode, his planning and preparation and cleverness run smack into the wall of fate, chance, accident, human nature -- things you can't predict or prepare for.»

«That is very true for any walk of life and very true for my character in 'Prison Break' because he's a structural engineer. I did a little bit of reading about that. And structural engineering is the art and science of connectivity. The pieces of a building are all interdependent. My brother in the story is behind the wall and every brick in that wall represents the conspiracy that put him there. My job as his brother and as an engineer is to find that one brick and loosen it. And another and another and hopefully the whole thing will come down.»
