More quotes by William Petersen
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.
William Petersen
Theater in Chicago will always be my first love.
William Petersen
The beard is here because I got tired of shaving and Grissom, subsequently, got tired of shaving. Grissom, like any other 50-year-old man, is going through a series of mid-life changes. Who knows, he may start drinking.
William Petersen
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.
William Petersen
A smart person is not one that knows the answers, but one who knows where to find them.
William Petersen
There’s no greater search than that of lost love.
William Petersen
I know a lot of actors who've just gotten bitter because they did something and then nobody ever saw it or whatever.
William Petersen
Grissom is a character who doesn't really want people poking around in his life. He likes to poke around in his work.
William Petersen
I had panic attacks during rehearsal. There were times when I really thought I wasn't going to be able to do it.
William Petersen
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.
William Petersen
I was horrible at science and math. I couldn't pass a test to save my life! I'm surprised that it didn't take me until I was 20 to graduate. That's why my role is so cool - Grissom is the complete opposite of me.
William Petersen
Corporate Hollywood thinks I'm a geek to go back and do theater. They don't understand why I don't want to be a movie star, why I'm not pursuing Mel Gibson's roles.
William Petersen
I think you can find yourself on one of these shows for a long period of time and think that all you'll ever be able to do is that character. Certainly people think of you that way.
William Petersen
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.
William Petersen
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.
William Petersen
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.
William Petersen
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.
William Petersen
I won't miss Grissom. It was a complete life for me that's reached its end, and it's reached it in the right way, I think. So I won't miss Grissom. And I hope that the audience won't miss him either.
William Petersen
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.
William Petersen
I get a lot of stuff from Germany - stuffed bugs and tarantulas.
