Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Erika: (about her role in the movie "Traffic") I'm a goody two-shoes who's never taken anything stronger than Tylenol... So I played her like a bored girl blessed with everything except parents actually involved in her life.
-
Erika: I'm more proud of my upper body. Let's just say I'm a typical female in that way.
-
Erika: I tend to choose roles in films that say something that I can get behind, something that I agree with, something that I can relate to [and] something that I think is good to say. Because if you're putting it out there, it's got to be something worth it.
-
Erika: (on being home-schooled) I think it was right for my life, making a movie is a little bit like high school. Because everybody lives together and you see each other every day and word travels fast around there.
-
Erika: At about twelve I just knew, something clicked, and I knew I wanted to be an actor and my parents, to their credit, granted this 12 year old girl a chance to give it a try.
-
Erika: (in a 2006 interview) I take things on a day to day basis when it gets really hectic. But I do think long term and I'm looking forward to the next couple of years when I do start producing my own films with my production company and playing some characters that are older and that's really exciting to me.
-
Erika: (on working in "Traffic") Here I was able to work with a cast, director and story that I could really put myself behind, and drug rehabilitation, education and prevention is something that I really feel passionately about now. But, after Traffic, I was offered a lot of these roles, and I was just like a kid in a candy store, so I got to snap some of these up.
-
Erika: I don't know if my agent will be upset but I quoted him saying that he would jump out a window if I turn down another project.
-
Erika: (comparing her character in "The Upside of Anger" to herself) We're alike in that I am ambitious, I don't want to do things, and I've been attracted to older men. I think I have a much better relationship with my mother.
-
Erika: (about "Flightplan") I love it. It's a great ride. Even knowing what was going to happen, I was caught up in it.
-
Erika: To be entirely honest, I am an extremely confident person, and I don't think I would have gotten into this business if I felt that I wasn't going to succeed and I intend to be in this business, for the rest of my life.
