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

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.

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.

Inspiration is a guest that does not willingly visit the lazy.

You are received the way you present yourself

For a single path leads to the house of Hades.

Right and truth are greater than any power, and all power is limited by right.

Believe passionately in what you do, and never knowingly compromise your standards and values. Act like a true professional, aiming for true excellence, and the money will follow.

The person in the business suit who works on Wall Street, who does their work perfectly, is probably evolving a lot faster, if they also meditate.

What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.

Listening is more important than talking.

I'm so hard on myself. I play these sketches in my computer for friends and they say 'Gee whiz, the vocal's beautiful.' I hear, 'It needs to be better.'

Yet we were rescued by that fancy, and saved by a myth.
