Words of Wisdom from Claire:

"While my boyfriend and I were golfing with Lucy Lawless, I kept trying to tell him that Xena and Lucy are not the same. But then we turned around and there was Lucy, spinning two golf clubs just like Xena. My boyfriend goes "See! She is Xena!"

"I can't say #@#@$'ed up anymore, so Sharon Delaney said I could say 'Claired' up instead!"

"At first I auditioned for the role of small redheaded Celtic woman in Hercules. I'm still wondering why I never got that part!"

"I was in 4 [Xena] episodes and was killed 3 times."

On her first Con:

"I basically told them a lot of stories. I answered questions. Sharon told me later that they had to wave frantically to finally get me off the stage. "We have other guests! Get off!"

On playing the Jersey Devil:

"I was covered in dirt, hair bra, thong, scrambling around in the forest in Canada. My mother thought I had really made it to the big time: "That's my daughter!"

"I know Lucy skulks around on-line. I don't know what she goes under, but I know she goes."

"I do a ton of yoga and I work out. It was a lot easier for me, because I'm really tall, when I was younger. Now that I'm in my thirties, I have to work at it."

On a Con request from Alex Tydings (Aphrodite) to see Claire do Alti's spirit dance:

"All right, but then you have to do the Evil Spirit Dance. Let's pull some evil spirits out of Aphrodite's ass!"

"Alti is not very sexy. She's just sort of nasty."

"You love it when Alti dies. I've been around watching it with friends, and they're like, "Yeah!" I'm looking at them going, "Hel-lo?"
