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."

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Now it wasn't just that Xena w...

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'.

Xena and Gabrielle were a coup...

Xena and Gabrielle were a couple...in the end, it was if not explicitly said, it was implicit that...yeah, they totally were.

When you decide to become an opera singer, it's a commitment that allows nothing else to interfere. Even your family - and I have a young daughter - has to take second place.

I was sitting in the looping studio late one night, and I had this epiphany that they weren't paying me for my acting, for God's sake, but to own me. And from then on, it became clear and an awful lot easier to deal with.

I'm not someone who ever enjoys violence against women or children.

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

My plan is to shock people with what I can do, because I've got a few sides to me that I've never used on screen.

We actually did quite a lot of comedy on 'Xena'. The whole show was very tongue-in-cheek.

I get to do all these really nice, little culty things. It seems to be the world that keeps inviting me back.

Lucy Lawless 57 quotes

Nudity and sex scenes are two ...

Nudity and sex scenes are two completely different things. Nudity you can kind of get used to, but not when there is movement and relating involved. The sex scenes are very uncomfortable because that's something to be protected, so you have a visceral reaction to not exploit that.

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.

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