Quotes

add »
Sarah: (What grabbed her attention about Dr. Sara Tancredi) When I was originally sent the Pilot script, they just said, "Read it and think about which women you could play, and audition for the one you like." They were pretty surprised when I picked the smallest part in the entire Pilot. I really felt strongly that Sara must have a million layers to her. She seemed so protected by her sense of humor, wit, and irony. I thought she would become more and more interesting the more I spent with her. Sometimes, you get characters who are more on the nose- what you see it what you get. That seems less exciting, less challenging to me. (edit)
Sarah: (on being the only woman in “Prison Break”) I grew up with two stepbrothers and their friends, and every time you walked into the house there were eight guys gathered around with pizza, so I’m pretty used to it. I feel fortunate, though, that the guys are as kind as they are. They’re very sweet now that I’m pregnant - (they say), “You should sit down”, and “Do you want some milk?” Except Dominic. He has so many kids of his own, he’s like, “She’s fine!” (edit)
Sarah: (Referring to the people who she saw when she visited a maximum security prison) I developed a lot of compassion for the people there. (edit)
Sarah: (on what season 3 of Prison Break will be like for her character) Sara ends up turning into somebody she didn't think she could be and I think that third season for her is going to be a lot about reckoning with those actions. (edit)
Sarah: (on the last few episodes of Prison Break's second season) The last three? The cast; it's getting smaller which I wish it was not. (edit)
