Depends on how the quote was presented to you. An interview quote is cited one way, a lecture or a conference quote are cited differently. You need to be careful about a quote from a casual friend, because perhaps it is not a quote that is original to them. They may have been quoting or paraphrasing another source, and the professor may recognize it.

You would use the "Private Communication" option. Such references are really frowned upon unless the person you are talking to is famous or world known as an expert.
