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.

I have no hatred for cops. I have hatred for racists and brutal people, but not necessarily the cops. The cops are just doing what they're told to do.

I jumped into acting because it was fun. It was tougher when I had to take my fun seriously.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
