She's Hattie Hayridge, popped up in a few things so may be able to grab
some
qoutes from them. If memory serves (and it rarely does) she's a standup,
but
don't know if she's relesed any of it. Limited list @
http://us.imdb.com/Name?Hayridge,+Hattie

Don't know anything about the tech, but http://www.agentland.com/ might be
useful. What would be nice would be a 'skin'able agent core so you could
overlay your own designs, and scripts. Skin community would probably throw
up some cool ones.
