Erica Durance

I read a lot of comics growing up. My mom used to say, 'Would you please read a book?' She was worried where I was going in my life.

I'm learning to embrace who I am and what I look like.

It's fun to get to play a lead character that goes all the way through and drives the storyline and makes the final discovery and catches the bad guy.

Often we want to go back to the familiar, go back to where we felt our life pause, but nothing is ever the same.

I sometimes take leftover food from craft services and give away a bunch of sandwiches on my way home.

I've been lucky enough to do a few roles where you get to be crazy and wild, put on contacts and different wigs and different hairpieces and dresses and outfits and embody the craziness of it all.

I constantly have anxiety about being the lead of the show. I don't talk about it because it scares me, but I've always wanted to be a part of something where I could work on a character in such a big manner, and you get offered that with all the trappings of being the lead of the show.

I am not a particularly aggressive person. That's not Erica.

I just keep looking for things that are interesting and keep calm as possible about it all, not worrying about being in a 'box.'

Sometimes you revisit things and relationships, and then you get going on in it, and you realized that there is a reason this ended.

I work on most weekends, so my husband is the executive chef. He is an amazing cook. I love the way he does salmon, and his apple pie for dessert is delicious.
