Ben was running a little late for this panel and Claudia said she was always waiting on a man. I think this may have something to do with the fact that she is surrounded by men in her house... The lights were down, so the audience yelled for the people in charge to turn them on. Claudia agreed.

Claudia ~ Let's get some lighting because, quite frankly a girl takes what she can get at this age! (There was a lot of "Awwww"ing from the crowd) No! Listen! We've all gotten older. If you started with us at the beginning, time did not stop for us. I have two kids! (She had the biggest smile on her face when she said this. She was every inch the proud Mama.) I'm working up to explaining to them what it is I do for a living. I heard a phrase come out of my older son's mouth that I never hoped to hear come out of a young child's mouth. (In imitation of her son) "Mama! Your limo's waiting for you!" It sounded SO awful! How do you know what a limo is? That's what you get for bringing kids up in LA. We were just reminiscing back stage about when Ben arrived on the show. He had his whole family with him already. So many things have changed for a lot of us. Pygram, Raelee, and Becca, we now, on the other side of it - most of us met our partners while we were shooting Farscape, or just afterwards - so now we've come through the (chuckles) wormhole to the other side with very different lives. I've been going through the whole juggling being a working Mum in this business and trying to, you know... I was talking to someone because my kids have got some food allergy stuff going on and we were talking to a counselor about it because we don't want them to have food issues as they grow up. He said, "Look, in general, you can be a great wife, a great mother, a great career woman. You choose two out of those three." So, I think I'm gonna be a crappy actor. Well, hang on a minute! I've been doing that for over a decade! Hopefully, I'll continue to be a great mother and a great wife. And my poor husband came to set and he came the final day Ben and I were doing the scene of the final episode of season four and he's proposing to me on the boat and we kiss! My husband said to me (laughs) "This completely sucks! Thanks for bringing me to set... That was really awful." And it's funny because so much of what became my personal life while I was filming the show - (a baby made a loud noise from the audience and Claudia smiled) A little baby! (Long pause) I can't... I can't. I'll start lactating again... (Laughs, then someone walked on stage carrying a tray) Oh, look! My lunch is here! I'm going to eat. (Everyone in the audience started laughing and Claudia stopped and looked at all of us) I'm not kidding.

Ben ~ (He was backstage with a microphone) Need someone to hold that for you?

C ~ (She didn't realize it was Ben who had asked that...) Oh, no thank you, I'm just fine. Thanks for the offer. Hands up mothers in the audience! (Scans the crowd) We can do five things at once, can't we? Sorry you have to watch it. It's really quite embarrassing watching me eat. It's just, I'm not a lady. (She saw what she was about to eat) Oh, how delightful!

B ~ Are you sure you don't want someone to hold that for you?

B ~ ...I've been there.

C ~ Do you like In'N'Out burgers?

B ~ Almost as much as you do.
