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.

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.

Treat everyone the same until you find out they're an idiot.

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 am not intimidating. I am a woman's woman. I love hanging out with women. And people are really inspired by this show.

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.

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.

My voice likes rock music. My problem is, I can do a lot of things, but I have to find my own voice.

I've often wanted to play the victim, or somebody who makes terrible choices. I would love to play the alcoholic mother who horribly lets down her children. That's a great morally imperiled role.

Growing up, I looked up to real women. I didn't go in for hero worship and I still don't. Everybody has feet of clay.

Do the best you can in every task, no matter how unimportant it may seem at the time. No one learns more about a problem than the person at the bottom.

I really like to work a lot. It makes time go by fast.

What is happiness to me is not necessarily for you. Someone once said, there are three truths: your truth, my truth and the truth. And I think that's true.

The social network will be the new production line in a company.

It appalls me that the people who decide what Americans will be watching on the tube have never been to the United States. Not the real United States.

I don't think I'm going to like it at all. I think it's going to hurt. But after the hurt I think maybe something good and strong and beautiful will come out of it.

I am on the side of pluralistic societies, and I will do whatever I can - by the best means available and any means necessary - to protect spaces that encourage open communication between people.

The ABA really loosened up the NBA and introduced innovations like the three-point shot and the Slam Dunk and other competitions at the All Star Game. And we had all the hot young players.

Have you ever held a snake? Well, let me tell you, it is so erotic.

In nature nothing exists alone.
