asks: Do you do anything special to get ready to play a particularly angry scene? Hudson Leick: Anger comes very quickly for me.

asks: How many times have you been injured on the set from doing your own fighting? Hudson Leick: Only once did Lucy's sword nick me. But Ted Ramie, on the other hand, ask him that question.

asks: If you couldn't be an actor...is there anything else you would consider doing? Hudson Leick: I would probably be a social service worker. Move to India and serve in Calcutta in Mother Teresa's hospices.

asks: Your outfit looks like it kind of hurts. Does it somewhat? Hudson Leick: Yeah, I like it that way.

asks: What's the difference between working on the Xena set and Hercules set? Hudson Leick: Hercules' testosterone. asks: Do you think you will ever get your own series, like Xena did when she first appeared on Hercules? Hudson Leick: There's always hope. asks: What do you think Callisto would be doing if Xena hadn't screwed up her childhood? Hudson Leick: Probably would have been married with 8 brats, milking cows early in the morning, cursing the gods for her fate. asks: How has the role of Callisto opened up doors for you in your acting career Hudson Leick: I'm not sure it has yet, really. I think it's just the beginning of opening doors. asks: Hudson, you are a very wonderful actress and, trust me, a lot of feminist look up to ya. Do ya like yer role as a powerful female? Hudson Leick: Absolutely. It's good to express yourself and not have to be pretty. Though they do squeeze me into a little outfit, which I actually enjoy. To not have to act as the ideal pretty woman is so freeing. asks: How did you get started in acting? Hudson Leick: Went to college, auditioned for a play and got the role of Emily in "Our Town." I did a lot of community theater, moved to NY and studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse, got an agent and started auditioning. Hence, here I am! asks: How many times/week and hours/day do you work out? Hudson Leick: Three times a week for an hour. asks: Did you have a favorite actor or actress growing up that drew you to the profession? Hudson Leick: Cher. I loved Cher. I still love Cher. asks: How do you feel about Web sites dedicated to you and the show? Hudson Leick: Secretly, I think it's pretty exciting....but don't tell anybody.
