"I've been busted for rolling through a stop sign or two, but that's the closest I've come [to being arrested]."

"My last meaningful relationship was about a year ago and lasted only a few months, but it was hot and heavy; those are the best kind."

"My character [in Prisonbreak] needs to be formidable. In reality, I'm not very tough at all." 

"I haven’t been working out in a while, I appreciate that it [the tattoo] adds shading and contours where there are none."

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

“I’m pretty much a couch potato.”

"You might look at my CV and see I've had 12 jobs, but I've been to over 450 auditions so I've heard 'no' a lot more than I've heard 'yes'. So if I go in looking only to meet my own standards, then that will make taking that rejection a little bit easier. And when I do get that job it will seem like icing on the cake."

"I think the character I play [on Prisonbreak] is potentially sexy."

"I'm kind of a dork. I don't have much game. I'm not particularly comfortable in bars or clubs. I much prefer being home playing Scrabble, having dinner with a couple friends, going to see a movie, or losing a whole weekend to Season 14 of Law and Order or The Simpsons."

On his character in Prison Break, Wentworth says, "Michael was a success in his pre-prison life. He had a career, friends, girlfriends, and yet he was willing to throw that away and go to jail to save his brother. That's not something your average Joe would do."  

About being in prison: "I wouldn't last long. I'd get shanked in, like, five minutes."
