Christopher Meloni: (on why he did 'Oz'.)
I wanted to do it because it was Tom Fontana and then later because it was Lee. (edit) Christopher Meloni: (on Keller and Beecher's relationship in 'Oz')
I loved that storyline, even though Lee [Tergeson] and I had to do some couples therapy over it. (edit) Christopher Meloni: (on acting)
Outside of my family, it's the only thing that makes life worth living. (edit) Christopher Meloni: (on Sophia seeing him nude in 'Oz')
She's already seen me nude plenty of times in real life, so ... what's the big deal? (edit) Christopher Meloni: (on life)
I believe in doing ones best not to fuck with others because it's just not nice to do- I've fallen short of that goal many times but it is always a philosophy that is with me (edit)
