Quotes

Lucy Lawless: (on performing "The Vagina Monologues") [While] I never felt disadvantaged by having a vagina...I never realised it was a privilege. (edit)
Lucy Lawless: (on guest starring on "The X-Files") They had to keep reining me back during my episodes, because I was going, 'Where's the blood? Who do you want me to kick first?' (edit)
Lucy Lawless: I once bungee jumped out of a helicopter. It was an 800 foot fall, and I wasn`t that impressed. You`re so high above the ground that you don`t get the sense of imminent death like you do when you are jumping off, say, a bridge. (edit)
Lucy Lawless: (on the final episode of Xena) I don't know why people expected us to walk off into the sunset. It was the strong choice, the bold choice, the risky choice, and I know some people don't like it, but the characters come full circle. She lived by the sword, and by golly she died by the sword!
(edit)
Lucy Lawless: (on guest starring on Less Than Perfect) They asked me to do a Kiwi accent. I was just, 'Oh! Why would I want to do that? I'm not really acting when I do that.' Then I thought, 'Hell, give it a shot!' It might not seem like a stretch to people for me to do comedy with a Kiwi accent, but it is, actually. I haven't done that for many years. (edit)
