Quotes
 I‘m
sure now that grieving and healing are the same thing sometimes, and
magic and death are the same thing sometimes, and trusting and failing
are the same thing sometimes.
I
grew up believing my generation would be better. We would be kinder, we
would be more level headed. We would be more loving. And so many people
are missing. I
am not really acting in this episode, I just show up. Deep down inside,
I think there is a romantic that lives inside Sara, but I think she
thinks that a lot of people get married for the wrong reason and the
wrong way and this wedding is a good example. I
don't think the spinoffs have hurt our show, but I think that they were
certainly motivated by a certain level of greed. And they weren't
anybody's creative brainchild. They came out of a way to make as much
money as quickly as possible. I
have been very fortunate in [the entertainment] business, and I am very
grateful for that. I wish the same for everyone out there, especially
everyone who dares to dream. Beauty
is everything. Love is innocent. A future with the perfect man is life. I'd
do a nude scene for world peace or if I were facing some serious jail
time, but I'm also a sucker for a good bottle of wine and candlelight. I
worked at a kennel for a long time. That was probably one of the best
jobs I've ever had but definitely one of the more obscure. In
this day and age, I believe it is of vital importance to find ways to
transcend the stereotypes and misconceptions we might have of each other
and to recognize how much we have in common. The importance of family,
our love of nature and beauty, and most of all our desire for freedom
and equality, are ideals we all share. I
think if you offer somebody a really great piece of cake, they're going
to take it. But then if they're offered cake every day, you might start
to want ice cream. I may have wished, you know, that there weren't any
spin-offs of CSI but I think that the shows have been able to sort of
find their own legs. I‘m
sure now that grieving and healing are the same thing sometimes, and
magic and death are the same thing sometimes, and trusting and failing
are the same thing sometimes. I'm
enormously surprised at the success of “C.S.I.” I think that even in
all of our wildest dreams that we could have imagined as great a run as
we are having and I'm just thrilled about it. I feel blessed every day.
I'm also surprised that, yes, there seems to be an increase in kids
wanting to study forensics. Yes.
But I think that folks should be good-humored about hosts making jokes
and things. We've
lost the evidence a lot. Bugs are tough, they're really hard to catch
and you're trying not to hurt them at the same time. And they come with
their own wrangler so there's no harming of insects on this show. Prince's.
All the sequins and the velvet? That would be fabulous. Yes,
for the most part everybody is very, very supportive. It's really a
great thing. We try very hard to make the show as real as we can. Time
is the only place where we really take big cheats. We thought about
opening a case in September and we'll solve it in December - like
real-life - but we thought we might lose some of our audience then. Basically
we are all loony and down-to-earth. Both,
I think. They were really accessible to all the kids in the school, for
the most part. It didn't matter if you were doing well in the class or
if you were doing poorly in the class, they kept an eye on everybody in
addition to just inspiring kids. For me, I never loved Shakespeare or
traditional English studies; I like modern stuff. For a teacher to get
me really excited about Shakespeare to a point where you are passionate
about it - you can't wait to read the next chapter - that shows
dedication. I
think probably George Eads is the biggest practical joker. But everybody
is fair game and everybody has jokes that they like to play on each
other. Dissecting
corpses, it's not really my cup of tea. I'm more of an artistic type. I'm
especially queasy and weak and sensitive to it. It's not just how gross
and graphic it is, but it's the way in which it happened, that somebody
horribly killed someone else. And God forbid we're doing a case that's
based on a real story, that adds a whole other dimension to how bad I
feel. It's like the violence of the crime is more repulsive to me than
the graphicness of whatever we're showing. So it's not just peeling a
face back in a coroner's office, far grosser to me is how the person got
to be there. I
have no idea. I have no job skills. I was actually discovered when I was
15 in this really little town in Florida. I was at the mall one day and
I got an opportunity to go to New York City and do some modelling, which
was great. That paid my rent for a couple of years. Just
to think about it gives me heart palpitations. It's like I can't
breathe. It sends shivers down my spine! But I still believe in true
love. It's
surprising, and it's amazing. The numbers are up a lot, which is great,
because there is a lack in the field in general. There's a lack of
money, there's a lack of people doing it, so more people joining would
be good. I hope that everybody sticks to it. It's
a dream and a joy to work with William Petersen. He is funny, he is very
smart, and he is wild! I
couldn't possibly do it. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the
folks that do it. I think they're amazing. They're really brave, and the
burn-out rate is very high actually. People do it for a certain amount
of time and then they move on to other stuff. It
never ceases to amaze me what people do to each other! |
