    • Liddy found the part of Alcmene, Hercules' mother quite natural for her to play. She drew on her own experiences as a mother, and used those emotions to add depth to her character.
    • In 1994, Liddy played in Hamlet along with fellow Hercules actor Michael Hurst, who also directed the production. She says that sometimes the emotions would run so strong between them on stage, she would look over and see tears just streaming down Michael's face!
    • Liddy was the third actress to play Alcmene on Hercules. She tried to come as close as she could to the other actresses' portrayals as she could without mimicking, which wouldn't have worked anyways, since she didn't resemble either of them.

    • Liddy: (on the challenge of working with imaginary monsters on "Hercules") I'd never done that sort of thing before. There was a tentacle wrapped around me [in the episode "Mother of All Monsters"], and I had to think, 'Okay, what do I do if a tentacle comes out and wraps around me, what is my physical response?' And then I had to do the whole action in reverse, so that when the film is played in reverse it would look as if the tentacle were sliding around me rather then falling off.
    • Liddy: (on why she had her own fight scenes on "Hercules") It's probably because I'm a middle-aged lady, and there is a challenge to show that ladies of a certain vintage can still handle the physical aspects of the role. Yes, fighting, and tossing one guy down a cliff over my shoulder! Of course, the stuntman did all the work, bless his heart. I just hung on!
    • Liddy: (on writing for "Cop Shop") My God, what do I know about cops and robbers? You could write what I know on a book of matches!
