It's a very depressing, sad kind of place. It just adds to the atmosphere of the show.

I think that's one of the central themes for [the character] Lincoln.

The other guy's skull came apart, ... There was shanking and all that kind of stuff going on. You weren't allowed to have [chicken] drumsticks because they just turned the bone into a shank.

Whoever it was that set me up wants me in the ground as quickly as possible.

I've been here for five years, maybe four. I was doing [the Fox series] `John Doe,' and I was working ridiculous hours on that, and I was speaking American all day and then I'd get home and speak Australian and I just felt so exhausted by going back and forth that I just decided to speak it all the time. Now I just speak American.

It seems to be the second coming for Fox, ... They're throwing everything into this thing. And it's great that they are. It's a great, great story. ... It reads like a high-concept feature film.

There are a lot of people on death row, and I'm trying to convey that sense of a man knowing his due date.

You have to believe in hope, not only from an acting point of view but also from an audience perspective.
