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

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.

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

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.

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.

Someday, I'm going to have to break some of your rules, Mom.""I know, " she said. "Try to do it behind my back, will you?¨You can bet on that, Mom.¨We both sat there and laughed.

Cry when you have to and laugh when you must.

Sometimes, until you do what you shouldn't have done, you least remember what you should have done

Adventure is really always just subjecting yourself to something unfamiliar

What is so marvelous about living today is that it is possible to extend, like a flower, spreading petals in all directions.

The world needs Christians who don't tolerate the complacency of their own lives.

Two blacks make no white; two wrongs do not make a right.

Are my words ever actually audible, or do they just echo in my head while people stare at me, waiting?

Up late talking to the fans on a website, That's the only thing that send ya man off to bed right

To a pure heart all hearts are pure.
