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.

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.

Within certain limits, it is actually true that the less money you have, the less you worry.

Hate yearned to destroy and sought to forget, but love could not. Love strove creatively towards days that had yet to come.

I will never abandon one opportunity and wait for another. We have not reached the goal we are striving for. What you see now is nothing compared to our vision…just tiny parts of what lies ahead.

I am tired of spending a little bit of money in a lot of pieces because they keep on falling apart.

Every day FM radio ran out of hours, not music.

The Bible in the memory is better than the Bible in the book case.

Remember: Bureaucracy elevates conformity ... Make that elevates 'fatal stupidity' to the status of religion.

Don't go backwards - you've already been there.

My mother is Greek and my father is Bulgarian. I am a first-generation American and native Los Angeleno. I was born and raised in Hollywood.
