QUOTABLES FROM THE EPISODE:

"I do, I have some stuff. Sadly I had to buy it. That's not a joke." - Hargitay on acquiring her late mother's possessions

"Anthony Edwards was like an acting school for me at the time." - Hargitay on working with Edwards on NBC's "ER"

"The fact that they were doing a show about sex crimes and things that people continually sweep under the carpet, I thought, that's a show that I want to be on, that's a show that is going to talk about issues that nobody wants to talk about, and it did... and boy am I glad I'm on it." - Hargitay on her thoughts after reading the script for NBC's "Law & Order: SVU"

"I'm so grateful for my time with him. I think Chris is incapable of lying... he's committed to the truth at all costs. I loved his passion and commitment. He's a very intense guy... complicated, mercurial. He made me better, and I love him. I loved acting with him and I love him as a person." -Hargitay on working with Christopher Meloni on NBC's "Law & Order: SVU"
