Lucy Lawless:
MY FAVORITE COMIC-CON MEMORY IS ...
"Jell-O wrestling would be awesome. I don't think they've done that yet. I'd like to see the female Expendables.
Anything with Sigourney Weaver; I think she'd win any fight. Or Kevin
Smith up against Jon Favreau. Now that would be a panel!"
-- Lucy Lawless, actress, Spartacus, Xena: Warrior Princess
QUESTION BEST AVOIDED ON A PANEL IS ...
"Don't ask us to come down and kiss your kids. Don't ask us for a hug.
Stop that -- I'm all out of hugs. And no dates; I'm not available for
dates. And please stop getting full-color tattoos of Xena and her horse
on your back."
-- Lawless
HAVE YOU EVER DRESSED IN COSTUME TO AVOID FANS?
"Sam Raimi gave me a Zorro mask and a red bandana once, and I walked
the convention floor for about 45 minutes. A couple people recognized
me, but mostly they don't even look."
-- Lawless
