Laura Vandervoort quotes:
-
I did it once in high school - I was Sandy in Grease - and I decided then that I would never do it again. I've felt that way for years, and that's no bullshit.
-

-
I started doing martial arts when I was about 7, and I got my second degree black belt when I was 19. So I have my second degree black belt, but Ive never used it, and I had to stop when I got Instant Star because I couldnt train.
-
I've played such serious characters that no one sees me the way I actually am, which is completely cheesy and goofy, so it would be fun to do a romantic comedy and just have a good laugh.
-
Hollywood is something imagined... acting is something crafted.
-
I've done a lot of sci-fi, so I was a little hesitant because you get pigeonholed into that genre and world. But at the same time, I love sci-fi because the women are so strong and independent and smart.
-
I still want to do a romantic comedy or a western or a gritty independent film... there's so much that I still want to do.
-
The sci-fi fans, in general, do support me, which I love them for. They're great fans.
-
I still want to get some empathy from the audience, even though she's pathetic.
-
I'm a bit of a feminist and very "female empowerment," and women should be able to do what they please.
-
In terms of acting, we go through phases of being really inspired by film and television and actors and works that we've read.
-
The performances make you want to get back out there and try something new and challenge yourself.
-
We don't have props or jewelery. You always want something tangible to play with, and we have nothing. I find myself playing with my hands off camera, just because I'm getting a little uncomfortable with the space.
-
I always do my own stunts, as much as possible. I'm a little stubborn about it.
-
A lot of people think that reptiles don't feel, and they do. I think everyone should keep in mind what it is they are buying and if it is really worth it to them.
-
As a person, you want to feel like you're giving back. That's something I've always enjoyed doing.
-
As an actor, throughout three years, I've become more comfortable within my own skin and confident.
-
I do just love the characters in sci-fi, but not necessarily the fact that it's sci-fi.
-
I never want to play a character that's one-dimensional.
-
I think reading the novels definitely was a good source for me to study from.
-
I want to be completely honest, I have to say that I love the intimacy of the camera.
-
I'm always looking to play the part that people don't think of me in.
-
I'm thrilled to be in sci-fi because they write the women very strong, and you don't often get that on television.
-
It's going to sound like the easy answer, but I love them both. I do! I really don't prefer one over the other. With movies, you really dive into a character for two to three months, but then it's gone. With a TV series, you have a constant location you're living in, and you're always working on the same character along with people who are like your own family. I'm lucky to have done both.
-
I've been lucky to have played a lot of women, over the years, especially in the sci-fi genre. All of them are special to me, in different ways, and I hate comparing them because it's like comparing people. They're different.
-
Originally, when I got the role of Lisa [from Visitors], I was a little concerned, because I was worried I would be typecast as an alien for the rest of my life. But they are so, so different that it wasn't at all a problem. I'm very lucky. I'm blessed to be on another show. I think it's going to do really well.
-
They say you get nauseous in a green screen room, but I haven't yet. It's a little odd playing pretend with props and monitors that we're supposed to be watching, but I'll get used to it.
-
We goofed around a lot and acted silly. It was great working with Mark Wahlberg too. Some off scenes I had with him I was terrified to do, but he was great.
-
We have new technology that allows us... After we've blocked it, all the actors usually run over to the monitor and we can see the hallways and what's there. But I find it difficult, because you're in such a large room and you feel so small and inadequate. There's so much space around you and actors always want a prop or something just to make it comfortable.
