Lucy Lawless

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.

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

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.

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

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.
