Quotes:
  • If you’re not willing to risk, there are no rewards.
  • (On television) Television, as you know, can kind of jettison you into a whole new world.
  • (On the vibe of "CSI: Miami") I think the difference is that street detectives have the luxury to wear their heart on their sleeve. This is a show about intelligence. The challenge is letting the emotions seep through. The power of these people’s lives is that they deal with an overwhelming amount of sadness.
  • (About his character Horatio Caine) He’s not a corruptible man, and I think that we’re searching for people to believe in and he is a man that has demonstrated on a very consistent basis that he will not be sidetracked, he will not be poisoned and he will not step back off the ethics that I think people need to have in our civil servants. We want to believe, that the people that represent us in the world, the glue of society, are people that are real and are as pure as possible.
  • (about the upcoming fifth season of "CSI: Miami") We’re about to depart on an entirely new storyline next season, It’s very interesting. We are literally taking the show to another level. We are expanding our horizons.
  • It’s a great time in my life and I appreciate it. I’m fortunate to have two amazing children and a great lady in the middle of all of it, who keeps it going – as well as an amazing opportunity with the show.
  • My son is one – and I have the three lines under my eyes to prove it! We’ve fallen asleep at 8:15 at night, sitting up on the couch. SO don’t mind if I laugh when you ask me what I do with my free time!
