Strive to be authentic all the time. That's sort of my philosophy on life, which applies to acting.

Well I think that the mind of a serial killer and the mind of the detectives represent the duality we face as people.

It's exciting to think that something I'm involved in is touching so many people in so many cultures.

Acting is constant exploration.

The real rub is finding that authentic self and it's not something that's going to come to you overnight.

Some of the best movies made about crime are those where the crime solver can get inside the head of the serial killer, and those are the techniques we use in C.S.I.

You know, dramas are much more expensive to do than say a comedy, so any kind of deficit like that is picked up on when it comes time for them to pick up new shows.

The worst acting is about imitation.

I don't know what an audience wants to see but I know what I like to see.

It isnt always hard work that does the job.

I look forward to the end of all this money-making part of the career, to be truthful.

In sports, every day you can be the hero or the goat.

Sometimes I think the world is divided into those who have a comfortable relationship with power and those who have a naturally adversarial relationship with power.

I have four kids, seven grandkids, and four great-grandkids. Maybe I can become a great-great-grandfather if I hang on!

I don't think actors get good training today. I put my training to use in everything I do.

Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better

In high school, I read 'Silas Marner' and I was very attracted to this character - he was very rundown and he'd just stop, and things would happen around him.

You'd have to be daft as a brush to say you didn't like Pink Floyd.

Based on my own personal experience – both as an investor in recent years and an expert witness in years past – rarely do more than three or four variables really count. Everything else is noise.

I keep telling myself, don't get cocky. Give your services to the press and the media, be nice to the kids, throw a baseball into the stands once in a while.

Success doesn't make you and failure doesn't break you.
