Transcript of Lucy interview at Ducks and Red Wings Hockey Game May 6th 1997

I just typed this, it was hard to understand some of what was being said as
the crowd was in the background and "noise" off or Real Audio. Also my
hearing is not to good so I could have just heard it wrong, but it is typed
to my best hearing ability so if something is incorrect please email me and
I will try and change it. Enjoy, copyright is at the bottom. All mistakes
are my fault.

Ken- I made a call. I had the privilege to track down the person who sang
the National Anthem today, Lucy Lawless better know as Xena the warrior
princess, and she is right behind us in the broadcast booth, I tell you what
she has her eyes on you right now Paul.

Paul-You know that is your type of girl Ken (saying something about black
book) you seem to get the biggest stars on the show.


Ken- Well lets bring her in right now. Lucy Lawless welcome to the
broadcast booth.

Lucy-Thank you very much, its nice of you to have me.

Ken- I understand that you are a terrific Detroit Red Wings fan, how did
that come about.

Lucy- Um, my boyfriend is from Detroit and we spent Christmas there 2 years
ago and there I got introduced to ice hockey and I have never seen ice
hockey and I find it to be the most exciting, um viscerally appealing game I
have ever come across, I am from a big sporting country you know with rugby
and league and all the rest but nothing has ever gripped me like ice hockey

Ken- Now you are from New Zealand that correct.

Lucy-Right on, yup

Ken-Now tell me about your television show and how that got started it seems
like its the crowds favorite

Lucy- Yeah well it got started, its the classic Hollywood story. Somebody
else got sick and I um I happened to be on the spot and uh they said well
lets get that Lucy Lawless girl We think she can do it and she is down
there. uh so I was called back from a camping holiday and bit on my way to
stardom I guess.

Ken- Lucy your a nice young lady how do you play that role of being so tough
all the time.

Lucy-Well I grew up with a lot of brothers and I am not nice all the time.
And uh, I find this show has a lot more appeal in the east as opposed to the
west. So I love coming back there.

Ken-Why is that why do you say it has more appeal in the east

Lucy- uh, because I think people are a little uh a little tougher more
shabby, I don't know. I hope nobody in LA hears me say this. They are a bit
more media savvy when I go to New York um or Detroit I get a really good, a
really good welcome. People aren't real hysterical about it, or you know
they are pretty hip.

Ken- Well Lucy were almost out of time right here but I understand your
friend Xena wants to say something a few words to Paul Woods.

Lucy- Quite right.

Xena voice- Paul this is Xena speaking and if you don't lay off my friend
Ken Madarvie (name is questionable), with those stupid trivia questions, I
am going to have to deal a sever backhand to ya.

Ken- Whoa lookout Paul better get her away from your ??

Paul-You know I might want to go down that road you never know.

Ken- I say one thing she must be tough (talking about her outfit and cold ice)
