The stage is my passion. Would ever consider doing live theater?
(Updated 01/21/06)
Absolutely, I would love to do theater. I did "The Exonerated" for a week and I had such an amazing experience. There is nothing like performing in front of a live audience. I hope I will have the chance to give theater another go.
Mariska, will you continue to be a part of SVU after your baby is born or will you leave SVU?
Of course I will. I’ll be back in full swing after the baby is born and back to work in September with everyone else. I have no plans to leave any time soon.
There are so many inspired fans out there that would do absolutely ANYTHING to get a chance to meet you... have you ever thought about doing a couple "meet and greets?"
I actually did a meet and greet last year. It’s something I may consider doing again in the future. (But as you can imagine I’ve got a huge project on my plate right now). I had an amazing time meeting so many cool and inspiring people. If I am able to do it again, I will post about it on my web site and you will be the first to know.
I want to become a singer but my family is always putting me down like I am never going to get what I want and all that. They don't believe in me.I just want to prove to them I can but I can’t do it cause I lost trust in my self.
Never lose faith in yourself. Success is the best revenge. You can achieve anything if you go at it with all your heart and soul. I believe in you and I am asking you not to give up on your dream. If I had a nickel for everyone who doubted me, Donald Trump would have nothing on me. Keep at it.
Do you think that in any future episodes of SVU you and Elliot will be dating?
That’s a question for the writers, but in my opinion, I don’t think it will ever happen. I think it would really change the dynamic of the Benson and Stabler crime fighting duo.I see that you would want to be on Oprah (who wouldn’t!), but I was wondering if you had ever considered being on the Ellen Degeneres Show?
It’s funny you should ask. I just booked the show for April or may. We worked together on “Ellen.” She’s super-talented and hilarious. I’m a big fan and I can't wait to do her show.
What kind of preparations did you have to make to become a rape crisis counselor.
I took a 40 hour training course. It was like being in school again. We learned about what constitutes sexual assault, what your rights are as a victim and as an advocate and all the ins and outs of the legal system. And most importantly I was able to become a great listener. It was an incredible learning experience and although my schedule doesn’t permit me to actually do any counseling, I am incredibly grateful for everything I learned during the training period.
I am a Senior Figure Skater and I was just wondering if you like the sport. Can you skate??
Let me know when you skate in the Olympics. Peter and I skate every winter and I love it. It’s one of my favorite pastimes.
If someone were new to visiting New York, where would you tell them is a must visit/must see?
Do you have a few hours? There is no way to sum up NYC in an e-mail. The one thing I would tell you to do here is walk walk talk. New York is a magical place.
Would you ever consider doing Saturday Night Live, because I think you would be very good at it?
Of course. I would love to. I’m a comedian, in my own mind, at least. Definitely one of my goals. The thing with SNL is, they go for movie stars, and I’m just a two bit TV actor, what can ya do?
What's your advice for students who are undecided about their major in college?
You’ll find your path eventually. You don’t need to decide right away. Many students don’t declare a major until their junior year. The most important thing is to educate yourself. You’ll find your calling.
There have been some internet/mag rumors that you will play your mom in a bio-pic. Is this true?
No, there is no truth to that rumor. This is the first time I’ve heard about it.
another great article..thanks Hotcop :laughyay:
