~Before you have kids, when you're on a plane and there's a screaming kid, all you can think is, Give me earplugs! As soon as I became a mom, though, I got it. You find yourself asking, 'What can I do? You want me to hold him?' Because you think about the time your kids was screaming, and there was the one parent who looked at you and smiled. And that compassion was everything.~

It wasn't really that hard to act when you see somebody holding a gun to your partner. It's also believing the circumstances and I believed it.

If you stop for one second and do something, everyone is happy. You pay it forward and it comes back to you twelve-fold.

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

They say that the average lifespan of an SVU detective is 4 years. People can't do it longer than that because it's so difficult.

When you see a girl like me bustin' perps, there ain't no time to be pretty.

Just having someone make you laugh so hard that it hurts is so healing to me.
