DAVID CARUSO

I was a guy who abandoned a TV show. I didn't care about people.

Not to sound too pathetic, but there have been long stretches where I haven't been able to get a job.

Having a little boy has taken me to a very deep place. I am starting to realize everything I ever worried about was such a waste of time.

It really comes down to the fact that, because I was perceived as a bad guy for leaving the show, I think people were rooting against the movies. That was really unfortunate.

I learned that unemployment can be the great educator.

Women are not totally nauseous after seeing me.

Miami is one of the great cultural melting pots in the world. I love working and living here.

In Hollywood, if you have any success, you have this fear: What do you have to do to hang onto it?

I learned that unemployment can be the great educator.

Television, as you know, can kind of jettison you into a whole new world.

Red hair stigmatizes you.

A dirty word in the film business right now is intelligence.

To me there's a difference between success and satisfaction. A lot of people have success and no satisfaction. I'm after satisfaction. I

For me the most important thing is to continue to work with the best people that I can find, and that will have me.

I'm not a movie-based person, in terms of how it affects my career, the industry. I don't care about that. I probably haven't been too smart about that.
