The two actors took some time to answer a few brief questions during their recording sessions for Wonder Woman. Here’s what they had to say:

QUESTION: You’ve played a number of interesting roles, but what’s your take on voicing a god?

MARG HELGENBERGER: Well, as the saying goes, behind every great man is an even greater woman. I guess playing Hera means that I’m, well, not only Queen of the Gods, I’m better than he is! [she laughs]
