When Xena finished I just really wanted to work with Shakespeare's material.

When Xena finished I just really wanted to work with Shakespeare's material.

Painting is a hobby for me.

I love actors who are wonderful - like John Cusack and Russell Crowe, and wouldn't it be a treat to eventually direct them one day.

And I think right now I'm just enjoying finding something such as One Weekend a Month where I can really resonate with this woman's history and her situation.

And I think because there is an essence of me that cares about other people and what other people think then that then makes me seem very sweet and polite.

I hope that my work makes a difference because I think that's why I do it.
