heart heathers closest
Grissom is pretty asexual. He's not that interested in anything other than work - except for Lady Heather. She's the closest to getting his heart of anyone.
smart answers persons
A smart person is not one that knows the answers, but one who knows where to find them...
mother father animal
Grissom comes from a place where we know he had a deaf mother, he was raised in a silent household, on some level, had a father who potentially was not around and he learned what he knew by himself in the back yard, with bugs and animals. He's not comfortable being a supervisor and that's his problem.
ocean writing sail
Writing is a vessel...with readers the ocean and authors as its sails...
bugs tarantulas germany
I get a lot of stuff from Germany - stuffed bugs and tarantulas.
wife downtown goes-on
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.
athlete actors legs
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.
wall years guy
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.
growing-up years president
I want to live and work in Chicago for the rest of my life. You know when you were growing up and you wanted to become president? What I want now is to be mayor of this damned town in ten years.
regret people figures
I can't figure out how they decide on those things. So I don't have any regrets about anything that I did that didn't get a lot of people to see it.
responsibility giving things-i-love
One of the things I love about theater, one of the reasons I'll never give it up, is that it's fifty percent the audience's responsibility.
sports football player
If I stayed a football player, my career would have been over 20 years ago. As it is, my knees are shot. I found I got the same good feeling in acting that I had in sports, but I found I could have a more profound impact on people.
dark people trying
Basically, we are a whole world of people desperately trying to figure out what is the dark side of our natures and how much can we explore without becoming something else.
baseball fun games
I do the work just because I enjoy it on the day, working with the guys. For me, it's like going to play a game of baseball: you've got your teammates, you get to do something that's fun, hopefully, and whatever happens with that stuff is in the cosmos someplace.
