She shot to fame with her role as Xena: Warrior Princess over 20 years ago.

And on Thursday, Lucy Lawless was more than happy to talk about the role that kick started her career during an interview with Sunrise host Samantha Armytage on Thursday.

Although, the 47-year-old revealed that in her 'real life' she doesn't talk about Xena much, by saying: 'My kids, I don't even think they've seen a show to be honest with you.'

She went on to explain: 'I'm mummy taxi much of the week, I only do it for special events or talking to people like you.'

The New Zealand-born actress went on to add: 'I'm really grateful for everything it's given me including my kids.'

Xena: Warrior Princess debuted on the small screen in 1995, and Lucy credited the overall theme to it's popularity over the years.

'The self realisation of the individual, somebody who doesn't feel like they fit in and I think secretly we all have this kind of existential crisis where we feel like we don't belong,' she said.

NBC has reportedly ordered a new pilot from CW's The 100 writer Javier Grillo-Marxuach who has confirmed that this time round the show will be clear about the chemistry between Xena and Gabrielle.

During a Q&A on Tumblr this week, Grillo-Marxuach implied the women will be lovers.

He wrote: 'i am a very different person with a very different world view than my employer on the 100 - and my work on the 100 was to use my skills to bring that vision to life. xena will be a very different show made for very different reasons.

'There is no reason to bring back xena if it is not there for the purpose of fully exploring a relationship that could only be shown subtextually in first-run syndication in the 1990s.
