I didnt want to play a lawyer. I didnt want to play a doctor. I didnt want to play a single dad. I wanted to do something I felt I could learn from, something that would be a challenge and something that would not dry up. – William Petersen
I was horrible at science and math. I couldnt pass a test to save my life! Im surprised that it didnt take me until I was 20 to graduate. Thats why my role is so cool – Grissom is the complete opposite of me. – William Petersen

My dad is still Christian Scientist. My moms not, and Im not. But I believe in God, and that theres a higher power and an intelligence thats bigger than us and that we can rely on. Its not just us, thinking we are the ones in control of everything. That idea gives me support. – Ellen DeGeneres
