DishDiva says: Lucy, welcome to MSN! It's great to have you here for the first time! It's great to have you here!
Lucy: Good morning everybody. Thanks for joining us from all over the world. It is unbelievable.
DishDiva says: We have SO many questions os let's jump right in.
FrauLemper in Onstage_1 asks: How you select the projects you get involve with? (CA)
Lucy says: Well, I try not to be fighting Gods and monsters too much. I am drawn to comedy. I feel my home is there. I want to
work with great people on th ebest possible projects-really on the pedigree of the producers. Sometimes if it is just a great
experience. I just recently worked on a Warrior program for the Discovery Channel. That was I did that. I went to China, all
over Europe, the Southwest of the U.S. It was a great way to get an inside look at people's lives in those places.
chrisgab2004 in Onstage_1 asks: Is there going to be interviews and commentaries on the following Xena DVDs sets ? I love
you Lucy
Lucy says: Thanks, there will be B tracks of Renee and I talking about the 3rd season and there are plans to do the following
three seasons. Yeah, you get to see behind the scenes as the actors and producers talk about their work. I read on the Internet
that Renee and I laugh at inappropriate moments like when Gabrielle is dragged by a horse or something. . . We have a healthy
attitude about our work and a great appetite for fun and enjoyment.
johnnyA926a in Onstage_1 asks: Any chances of a Xena Movie or anything to that effect?
Lucy says: I have warmed to that idea but nobody knows who technically owns the rights. My feeling is that if it doesn't happen
soon, I will be too old and people won't buy me in that role. I think Xena should live again whether I am playing her or someone
else. She has a lot of lives in her.
AresChosen1 in Onstage_1 asks: Do you think you'll ever record an album?? you have such a great singing voice!! Love ya
Lucy!!
Lucy says: Thanks very much. I don't know that I will. I love singing as an adjunct to acting. If you want to be a singer you
have to be prepared to live for that. Singing is just a part of acting to me. I can't stop doing it but I am not prepared to make a
career out of it. I put all my energy into acting.
Mighty-Xena in Onstage_1 asks: Eurotrip : I noticed some Dutch language in a trailer. You do really speak some Dutch?
Lucy says: (laughs) No, there was no Dutch language in the trailer. I do have a Dutch language in the trailer. I play Madame
Vandersexxx. A Dutch brothel keeper. I wish I spoke Dutch. My sister speaks some but not me. I had to find a Dutch doorman
in Dublin to help me with that accent. I had him say the lines into a tape. I will have to send him a thank you letter. A man called
Hans at the Four Seasons.
Mianda3 in Onstage_1 asks: Can you give us a tip on how to keep our bodies as great as yours? I love U.
Lucy says: Liquor and Doritos! And have lots of children. (laughs) Love you too. If I am ever in the Congo I promise to drop by.
SwirlySuperkimmie in Onstage_1 asks: what was your favorite about season three?
Lucy says: The Bittersweet. I think it is genius on so many levels. It has a performance by the late Kevin Smith. That guy could
sing. I think "Hearts are Hurting" is powerful. I loved the symbolism and the Tarot cards coming alive. It was clever, powerful,
twisted, and witty. Everything I love. Genius, really.
Anne12231 in Onstage_1 asks: How was it to work with gillian anderson? note: u and gillian are my idols and it was so cool that
they put u 2 together
Lucy says: It was lovely working with her. She is very generous and warm offscreen.
dars27 in Onstage_1 asks: Did you or Renee ever direct an episode or come up with the plot?
Lucy says: Renee directed one. We tried to come up with a plot but that was too hard. I never wanted to direct. I thought it
would be bad for me. I thought if I was in it, it would be hard to direct and act. Directing is about control and acting is about
surrender. It is real hard. Renee has a different brain to mine and she could cope with it, I enjoyed being directed by her. I
thought for me to direct it would be a bad idea and bad for the show.
Suraj_XG_RusXWP in Onstage_1 asks: Have you ever been in Russia or USSR? We'd like to invite you and Renee to Russia! We
love you!
Lucy says: I was on my way to Russia when I found out I was pregnant with my first child. I had to run back. I would love to
see that part of the world. I am thrilleds to know that the show made it up there. the head writer is a huge Russian fanatic. He
has been there a number of times. He can't say enough good things about Russie--RJ Stewart.
