Erica Durance quotes:

I maintain my inner beauty by trying to lead a balanced life in general. I try to eat healthy foods, but... that doesn't mean I won't treat myself now and then! I work out almost every day, which gives me more energy and helps me feel stronger. I also try to be a genuinely good person to the people around me.

I look forward to change, but there is a part of me that absolutely dreads it.

Smallville' was my first love and it is always close to my heart.

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

Well, I love TV, and I love a good script.

I'm a small-town girl, and it'll never be beaten out of me.

I have an oddball sense of humor. So when there was an episode at a comic book convention-of course they end up having Lois dress up all sexy and stuff-but really what I would dress up like is a Stormtrooper. That's what I'd do, because it's hilarious, and who doesn't want to be that at some point, right? So then they made something out of that.

We all need to make time for a burger once in a while.

When you're out there in Vancouver doing your thing, and then you come down and you see how positive people are - people who are so jazzed and so supportive.

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 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.

It's easier to shut yourself off outside than reveal your inner thoughts.

You have to treat it like a fresh character. Sure, there are guidelines so that you don't upset people, but you have to find your own way,

I just feel like I'm a part of a really cool group of ladies, really good actresses. And each of them kind of does it in their own way, but the character itself is such a great, strong lady that I like that they keep reinventing her.

The best beauty advice I ever received is to keep skin hydrated and limit harsh exposure to the sun. If you are set on the tanned look, there are plenty of great creams that will give you a healthy-looking glow.

Any kind of advice that I've been given to cut out carbs forever, don't do it. It just doesn't work. You do okay for a while and then you just overcarb.

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

People think that if you're sexy you have no brains, and if you have brains you aren't in touch with your sexual side. I'm trying to tell people, 'You can have it both ways.'

I'm happily married but it's absolutely heavenly.

If you want to demoralize somebody's spirit, you take away their hope.

I think that you can't help but bring pieces of who you are. No matter what you do, it comes through you, as a vessel.

I'm pretty klutzy and I've always been, so I have to own up to it. It's part of my charm!

I really enjoy comedy, but I also still really enjoy the drama aspect. So, I don't like to narrow my possible chances out there.

I'm a bit of a workaholic.

I might do my own independent film, that my husband wrote for me, if all the ducks are in a row.
