Muse 2012: Mariska Hargitay's Acceptance Speech

[@landcommander1981]

She's absolutely right: Jayne Mansfield was more than just her measurements, and to the people who keep talking only about Mariska's figure or physical attributes, so is she. Mariska truly is an inspiration to us all, to men as well as to of course women. She truly is a force, personified as a woman, who does good. She's awesome!

She is such an amazing and inspiring woman. I look upto her so much, not your average role model for a 23 year old girl but what she does compared to the likes of most 23 year old role models is just above and beyond. I love her and am proud to call her ny inspiration x

[@MorneA18]

I love her so much! She is definitely my role model and my inspiration!

[@slpaperhearts]

wow, this left me in tears. mariska is so incredible and courageous. she took an acting part and instead of making it about her, it inspired her to help other people. her vision for women in the world is one that all people should embrace, but at least there are people like her who work hard to make it real. I wish I could personally thank her. she has inspired me so much throughout my life, she is really my hero and I hope to be half as amazing as she is one day.
