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.

Comedies are often half-hour programs and then drama and action series are often an hour.

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.

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'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!

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

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.
