Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Erik: (on the "Xena" episode "Mortal Beloved") I felt like Greta Garbo, you know, 'I want to be alone.' And that was nice to play that side of it. A disempowered god. Just because it brought out an unusual side of the character.
  Edit Share Hide
- Erik: The dilemma of being an actor is that you want to work and to work you have to have a profile, but when you get a profile suddenly sometimes it can detract from the work you want to do. You really can't be too concerned about it. Actors say, 'I'm not going to that because I'm going to get too recognised with the whole thing', and then they sit on their bums doing nothing for two years.

- Erik: (on his show "Pacific Drive") 'Melrose Place on the Gold Coast' doesn't begin to do justice to the full horror. I asked to see the scripts before I signed, but they said they weren't ready yet. Just trust us. So I signed. The next day the scripts arrived and I went, 'Oh my God!'
