Up until I came here this week, and I met so many women and young girls who feel, to use their word - and I'm a bit embarrassed, but it's a good word - empowered, by watching. I realized this isn't a burden, this is an honor.

I think the people running climate change denial campaigns are sociopaths.

My voice likes rock music. My problem is, I can do a lot of things, but I have to find my own voice.

Lucy Lawless 57 quotes

At first, being a female role...

At first, being a female role model really terrified me. But it hasn't turned out to be an awful burden. I get a lot of letters from women who tell me that, after watching Xena, they have bought the Harley-Davidson they always wanted or left an abusive relationship.

Very often, I'm part of the deception because the way I play things is that I want you to be able to look back and go, "Oh, my god, I didn't see that at the time, but now it all makes sense," and you want to watch it a second time with the benefit of hindsight.

Happiness is a choice. You gr...

Happiness is a choice. You grieve, you stomp your feet, you pick yourself up and choose to be happy.

It's never very useful to see...

It's never very useful to see your character as a villain. You have to play them the way they see themselves.

I am not intimidating. I am a woman's woman. I love hanging out with women. And people are really inspired by this show.

There will be hoards of vampire bats descending on Beverly Hills.... We'll see if they can find any real flesh to puncture. I don't know.

Lucy Lawless 57 quotes

Some people think that acting...

Some people think that acting's about being somebody else and I don't. I think this is how I would be given the same circumstances. And I do it for my own enjoyment.

One of my missions is to get ...

One of my missions is to get people to go, "Oh, she's really nice and I really like her, but what were the words she just said?!" I want your instincts to be at odds with your mind.

Lucy Lawless 57 quotes

I've tried to divide my time ...

I've tried to divide my time between the US and New Zealand, but it's difficult, and I suddenly realized that I like acting here in Los Angeles anyway. Because when you first come here; especially from New Zealand, you go, This is the ugliest, nastiest, grayest, smoggiest town in the world, and then your scale of beauty adjusts and suddenly you think, Oh, isn't it beautiful, not too much smog today!

Lucy Lawless 57 quotes

So yes, the roles are getting...

So yes, the roles are getting more and more like me. But that's because Xena was so entirely unlike me. Most people aren't really aware of that.

Lucy Lawless 57 quotes

Who I think is actually doing...

Who I think is actually doing great things for the appearance of women is that Kardashian girl. Kim Kardashian is giving an alternative. I don't know very much about her and I don't read articles, but just looking at the pictures you go, "Great! There's a girl with an ass, and that's fabulous. On behalf of all girls with asses, thank you."

Now it wasn’t just that Xena ...

Now it wasn’t just that Xena was bisexual and kinda liked her gal pal and they kind of fooled around sometimes, it was ‘Nope, they’re married, man.'

I'm a bloody fun-seeker. Whatever the role is, I'll find a way to deliver the line that is confounding.

I am waiting for a sign that will indicate to me what meaning I must give to my life, but right now my existence is satisfactory.

We live at the edge of the world, so we live on the edge. Kiwis will always sacrifice money and security for adventure and challenge.

Lucy Lawless 57 quotes

I was black and blue for about two years, but it's paid off tremendously. You know, if you get enough whacks, your reflexes pick up, and I've become quite good - if somebody throws keys or something, I can catch them.

Lucy Lawless 57 quotes

For the first time in my life...

For the first time in my life, I put my body and reputation on the line to stand up for my beliefs and do the right thing. I hope I've encouraged other people to do the same.
