| Quote
| - "My favorite part was definitely Connick as David Haden. I've been a fan of his adorable screen presence since he was on Will & Grace, and he didn't disappoint as a new love interest for Olivia."
- "The greatest thing for me is that I became friends with Mariska [Hargitay], she's an incredible woman, has an amazing family, and I really feel that although my time on SVU has come to an end, that I made a really good life-long friend, and if I have the good fortune of coming back I'd be very happy about that and if not, I feel really proud of the work I've done thus far [on SVU]."
