Drawing inspiration everywhere and anywhere from 'Splash!' to E.T. What is E.T. short for? Because he's only got little legs.
What was the inspiration for 'Jail Break'?
The truth? A number of years ago I was watching a late night re-run of a popular TV show where they 'bust myths', a 'myth busting' TV show if you like, and they had a special about Western Jail Breaks. To be fair, they butchered it. But I thought it would be a great idea for a movie!
Being married to someone from across the Rio Grande I've been to Texas many, many times over the years, and I love the good State. But I've never broken out of prison. Yet.
