Quotes
[2008 Com Ràdio] To be honest, I don't watch the show, I don't watch any TV, so I have no idea what the show is about. I go to Hawaii, shoot my scenes and script and ciao. I'm not a "Lost" fanatic and it's a disappointment for thousands of people and friends who are dying to know what will happen. They know more than me. - Speaking about Lost (2004) on a Spanish radio program.
