Mariska Hargitay

Of course everyone says they hate baby talk, but mine was not annoying.

I look at all the things life has allowed me to do, and I feel like the luckiest person in the world.

I am grateful that I didn't let fear get the best of me. It only holds you back from possibilities and greatness.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

I'm awkward at these things. Just being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Karate Kid was a real surprise and I was a little uncomfortable.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
