David Caruso's Quotes

• There have been times when it's been hard for me to find work. I'm still a young man and I have a lot to give. If I don't get any more chances on a major level, there's not much I can do about it.
• NYPD Blue (1993) will not be successful when I leave.
• [on his successful comeback in Hollywood, as the star of CSI: Miami (2002)] For somebody who fell to the place that I fell in terms of unemployment and a damaged reputation, the fact that this town was willing to give me another chance is incredible.
• If you're not willing to risk, there are no rewards.
• I was a guy who abandoned a TV show. I didn't care about people. They didn't want to see good things happen to me.
