A smart person is not one that knows the answers, but one who knows where to find them.

Sure, I always chose rebels to identify with - I still do - but to me a rebel isn't so much someone who breaks the law as someone who goes against the odds.

The show can go on without me, and probably will, but I want to come back to act in Chicago. My wife and I just bought a condo downtown, and I want to do theater.

I know a lot of actors who've just gotten bitter because they did something and then nobody ever saw it or whatever.

Corporate Hollywood thinks I'm a geek to go back and do theater. They don't understand why I don't want to be a movie star, why I'm not pursuing Mel Gibson's roles.

I've never been in this business for the recognition or the awards. I just want to do good work, grab a decent paycheck, and move onto the next job.

I won't miss Grissom. It was a complete life for me that's reached its end, and it's reached it in the right way, I think. So I won't miss Grissom. And I hope that the audience won't miss him either.

I had panic attacks during rehearsal. There were times when I really thought I wasn't going to be able to do it.

I get a lot of stuff from Germany - stuffed bugs and tarantulas.

If I could change on thing about myself, I would: Have better knees. Mine are shot because of injuries. You're only as good as your legs, whether you're an athlete or an actor.

I've been telling anybody who would listen that I wanted to do a series for the last 10 years. But I wouldn't do it if I was just another cop pushing bad guys up against the wall.

Victory over fear is one of the conditions of fulfilling the vision

Everyone deserves what they choose to tolerate.

Dwell on the beautiful miracles of life.

Nirvana is a very exclusive club - no one is in it.

The art of advertising - untruthfulness combined with repetition.

Elegance of language must give way before simplicity in preaching sound doctrine.

Advertising ought to work by telling you what it is you want to tell, you should understand what you want us to do, what you want us to think, where you want us to shop.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

I'm only lookin' for a fantasy, an interlude from reality.

Am I the woman I think I am, the woman I want to be? More importantly, am I the woman the Savior needs me to be?
