I think I had a shyness about me, I think I discovered acting as a way to break out of that and as a way of belonging, a sense of being special.
In all honesty my cake was baking when I met Al - I had made up in my mind already to get physically healthy. He refreshingly was on his own journey so it was almost as if we walked together.
We actually did quite a lot of comedy on 'Xena'. The whole show was very tongue-in-cheek.
