Emilie: I love well-done horror films.
(About the pros and cons of filming in Hawaii) Emilie: The pros are it’s probably one of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever seen and the people are so nice. It’s a very relaxed, nice atmosphere there. We’re so lucky to be able to shoot there. As for the con I personally decide to travel back and forth – I don’t live there and so I split my time, when I’m working I’m there and when I’m not I’m in L.A. So, the flight gets a little tedious after a while, but then again I make sure I utilize that time to either read or sleep with no cell phone. So, it’s kind of nice in a weird way. The airports are the thing I hate. I hate going to the airports – especially LAX.
(About her character in "The Hills Have Eyes") Emilie: My character is wielding a pickaxe and stabbing people in the face so she’s not really a damsel at all, which I guess is another thing that drew me to the character. She’s a very strong female character and goes through a huge change through the film. I mean she’s a young woman, still sort of figuring out who she is and then she practically grows up in three days, for what she has to deal with.
Emilie: It was very romantic. Josh had planned it all - he'd even bought the ring... I am very excited, but I think the wedding will have to be impromptu because it is almost impossible to get all our families together in one place.
(Emilie on what she was like as a teen). Emilie: I didn't go to normal high school, I went to full-time ballet school, so I led very regimented, disciplined years. The classes we took, like nutrition, anatomy, dance styles, choreography, music, all these wonderful things. I’ve taken away with me. At the time my passion was ballet, so I didn’t have that normal high school experience, which I’m sure I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed anyway.
(When asked if she feels tense knowing her Lost character could be killed off at any moment) Emilie: Yeah. We chat about it and have bets on everything like that. It hasn’t happened to me yet, but, you, know, we’ll see! It’s sad losing people you like to work with, but it’s that kind of show.
(Emilie's reply when asked if she is worried after former Lost co-star, Maggie Grace, was killed off after making a movie) Emilie: That anyone who does a film would die? That would be funny, wouldn’t it? Well not really, but in hindsight that would be funny. All the Lost cast have films coming out, so maybe we’ll all die.
(Emilie's thoughts on horror movies) Emilie: I like being scared. I like watching horror movies with my fianc? as opposed to being on my own. My favourite horror film as a child was Halloween. I remember that movie so clearly because, as a kid, horror movies attend to affect you more. They’re scarier.
(Emilie on why she does so many projects at once and missing her family back home in Australia) Emilie: I miss my family a lot, and having the distraction of going to work every day stops me from feeling too homesick.
