Erica Durance Quotes & Trivia

Quotes

Erica (about working with Ashley from WWE Smackdown): I think Ashley is great. She’s right on top of it. I got the sense from her when I met her that she’s a real go-getter. She’s not afraid of anything. She’s willing to work hard and I think that it’s a sign of any good actress.

Erica (about her role on Smallville): I want [Lois] to hold onto her independence and sassiness - I don't want her to lose that edge.

Erica (about acting in Vancouver): I wanted to get my feet wet in a smaller area than Los Angeles when I gave it a try.

Erica: I do like their having given Lois such intelligence that there are glimmers of her noticing things.

Erica: I've been just trying to do well on this series and do my best.

Erica: I know in the movies and comics Lois was getting rescued a lot, but there was always the sense she thought she could rescue herself. She was the strong one and didn’t just sit there until the guy saved her. Maybe she isn’t aware she’s being rescued. I think she does a bit of butt kicking too.

Erica: Obviously, I'm kind of loyal to Tom [Welling] because that's who I work with so to me he's my Superman.

Erica: You have two people that have been together before and then a third person comes in. They haven’t written that I am suddenly there and a romantic lead. There is a little bit of weirdness, but they’ve given Lana a place where she is changing and growing. I think it hasn’t gone to the classic triangle where everyone is jealous. At this point, with the brief meetings I have had with Lana and Clark, it would be unnatural.

Erica: The stunt arrangers always try to work in a kick here and there, and usually a kick in a very interesting place - like in the middle of the night, or in a dark street.

Erica: I'm really enjoying myself. The things that they've allowed me to do, and the different characters that I get to work with - it just keeps getting more and more.

Erica: There was a little bit more freedom, because this younger Lois could grow... potentially.

Erica: Lois can't die, but she can always choose to move somewhere, and that's something that's being discussed right now.
