Erica Durance Quotes

Playing Lois is definitely a responsibility.
~ Erica Durance

It's been a really cool ride and a crazy year. It was not expected to be 13 episodes -- it was four and then it went to 13 -- so it was kind of all over the place, but I feel good and I am excited to get on with the new year. I've got a little bit of an idea [of what will happen] and I'm excited to get in there and explore more of Lois and see where they're gonna take her. With the last episode that we shot, showing her watching everything that's happening, you don't really know where she goes or what she does, so for me the excitement is seeing how this moment of tragedy is going to add a new color to her character.

Looking back right now, I am a little shocked. I spent so much time just focusing on putting one foot in front of the other! It's been this nice steady job for the last three years, going into my fourth. And it started off as only four episodes. I'm all about living in the present, so I was just trying to do the best I could with what was in front of me. But you go to Comic-Con and everyone is so positive and excited. The energy around it is amazing, so no complaints here.

I like it, I like being part of something new. I think it's a nice young network, and I like the idea that a lot of the shows we would compete against or worry about, are now on the same network.

I think both ladies did a really lovely job of playing the part. Obviously I was quite a bit younger when I watched Margot Kidder, so the impression that stayed from when I was a young girl watching was of a woman who was getting rescued, but yet didn't need to be rescued sometimes. She was very intelligent and gutsy, and that made a huge impression on me. As I got older, more in my teens, then I was watching Teri's version, and she brought a whole new element to it. Both of them were at different stages in my life, and I think they did a great job.

I don't know what the key is. Maybe it's the idea that I'm doing more and involved in more, so people know me more, and that starts to be part of it. With age comes more beauty because you become more relaxed in yourself. I was laughing with my husband the other day, because one of our friends had come up and said "Now, there's all this talk about you and all your facial surgeries to become sexier and get higher on these lists." I laughed so hard, my husband and I had the greatest laugh about it. I often don't read those things on the internet, because there's too much negativity usually involved in that. But I would have to say these folks don't know me too well to think that I've done rhinoplasty and all those things. Besides the fact that I don't like the idea of being in surgery and going under, I have these freakish ideas that you'd be awake during surgery and it totally freaks me out.

But also, ya know, a lot happens in a decade, and these people are on there going she's gotten her entire jaw done, and her nose done, and her eyes done, and liposuction, and I thought "Man, all my hours in the gym." In the gym, on the treadmill, that's where that stuff comes from. This is speaking from a woman's point of view, when you get older, and I'm talking about being 20 to 29, your face completely changes. So, I would like to say to those people that it is natural, and it is hard work, sweat, and having to eat a lot of broccoli.

It was basically a little bit of a lottery, as everything is in this business, but I had been up here working in Vancouver for a long time -- this is where I live -- doing guest star roles, and just trying to make my way into the business. There was a rumor that this character was going to be coming on to Smallville, so my manager was telling me you need to get ready, we're gonna suss it out and we're going to find an audition. My husband is also my acting coach, so we got all trained up for it. I really didn't think much about it, because at this point I was not very enamored with the industry and the way things went, and I said okay, well I'll go in. I was a little bit begrudging about it because by that time I was ready for a break. True to form, that ended up being the one that I got. It just has been a real whirlwind since then.

It was a whirlwind. I got the call I had it on a Friday night and began filming Monday morning. I was scheduled to go in Saturday and do some photo shoots. And then on Sunday, Tom was nice enough to read some scenes with me so I wasn't so stressed out. And then on Monday, I was thrown in there.
