(On seeing the Marlon Brando movie "Last Tango in Paris") "It was the first time that I understood that acting was an art form. It was not Clint Eastwood on a horse, Bob Hope in a road movie. It was not Don Knotts in The Incredible Mr. Limpet. These are favorite movies of mine, too. But when I sat in Last Tango in Paris, the lightbulb went on. To this day, Brando is the one I want to meet, and the one I'm terrified to meet." "Their argument was, Everybody else is going to start copying the show, so why not us? My attitude was, Well then everybody else do it. Don't rip yourself off." (On the network and producers' decision to create the CSI spinoff series, CSI: Miami) "It took me two months to get that part. I mean, who the hell was I? I wasn't going to sell that picture." - on his role as Will Graham in Manhunter. "Theater in Chicago will always be my first love. It started careers for me and about 50 of my friends. We all love coming back. As soon as the TV show is over, I'll be back in Chicago, doing live theater." (on what he plans to do after "CSI") "The greatest thing that ever happened to me in terms of my acting was the audition for To Live and Die in L.A. After I read, William Friedkin put down the script and said, 'You got the part.' I really thought it was a joke. I went back to my hotel room and took a bath and they called and wanted to make a deal. I still didn't believe it." "I was only 21, and there were many things I didn't know. I was trying to be a man and I wasn't ready for it." - on being married at a young age "After 'Manhunter', I had to actually kill off the character. I cut off most of my hair and dyed it blonde. I changed my whole look just to get rid of him."
