Character Quote by Erica Durance
“When you're doing series work, playing a character for a few years, usually you have to bring something of yourself to it, and yeah, the character can invade you a little bit. I come home and she'll still be a part of me, this sassy high energy. My husband is like, 'Chill'. On the plus side, it's helped me become more confident in myself. It's made me a champion of the cause of, basically, women being in charge of their lives and being independent, doing that and making no apologies for it.”
