"It’s very difficult leaving the house anytime with my baby at home." ― Mariska Hargitay Topic(s): Great More From Mariska Hargitay "I think because I became a mom later in life, everything in life means more." "I want to be a fun mom. Not a gasping for air mom." "Yes. I did more research than I ever wanted to and saw some things I wish I didn’t. I went on ride-alongs, spent time with Homicide, Cold Case, and SVU detectives, hung out in subways learning how to spot pervs and pick-pockets, viewed an autopsy, went to a police firing range, and witnessed court cases and I read, read, read."

If you don’t have love in your life, no matter what else there is, it’s not enough."― Ann Landers "Show me a great actor and I’ll show you a lousy husband. Show me a great actress, and you’ve seen the devil."― W. C. Fields "Calling a young artist ‘great’ these days can give one the heebie-jeebies: The word has been denatured in the past decade."― Jerry Saltz
