DP: Have you ever had any major injuries when wrestling?
H: Yes! I broke my right leg in three places in November 1998 when wrestling a female I didn't know. We were doing a match against each other, and she throws on this Judo-type move, and busted my leg. It took me a good 4-6 months of physical therapy to be able to wrestle again.
DP: Of all the people you've wrestled, whom have you had your greatest bouts with?
H: Cheryl Rusa, a very strong girl! Jeanne Durso.
DP: No one likes to talk about this, but we've all had them. Your worst bouts?
H: Stuff in the GLOW days. I was very young then.
DP: Have you ever tried to go the route of others and get into the WWF?
H: Yes, when WWF was in L.A., California, I was called in for an interview, but my leg was only four months healed, and I explained what had happened to my leg. I should not have told the truth, but that's just me.
DP: How did you make the transition from wrestling to acting in films?
H: When I was in GLOW, they had asked me to do all kinds of TV shows. That is where I got my union cards SAG/AFTRA.
DP: Did any of the actors or actresses you were with look down on you for wrestling, or did they look up to you?
H: They loved us!!! Wanted to know all about wrestling and the holds.
DP: How do you feel about promotions today essentially doing the same things GLOW did long before, only getting far more attention for their promotions than GLOW ever did for itself?
H: I think GLOW paved the way for the WWF women today and all other indy wrestling companies, and any promotion is good promotion!!! Fighting Females magazine has also been a great promo for me. I have been on the cover of their magazine three times, with a forth coming out this year or January 2003!!!
DP: Do you miss GLOW?
H: Not really, just the nice people I met on the way! And the funny stories, and the fans who loved us. So I guess yes, I do miss it!!
