It’s more fun to play the evil, simply because it’s not me, and the coolest thing I’ve done so far is shower a character in blood just by staring at her.

I compare Christina to Shane, the Western antihero. We want to love her, we want to see her enter into domesticity, we want to see her become part of the family, but she just can’t. She has this other lifestyle and separate life she doesn’t fully understand, and she needs to reconcile with it before she can really decide if she can be part of the normal world. She’s an antihero, and we always sympathize with those characters. We love them because they’re human, they make mistakes, they make the wrong choices, yet they’re still likable.

Some people will be really freaked out by the show, and hopefully they’ll realize we’re not trying to propagate satanism in any way. That’s not what it’s about. It’s about human struggle, and hopefully people will understand that.

Buffy was such a smart show. Marti's [Noxon] carrying on that legacy of smart, supernatural writing.
~ Elisabeth Harnois Quote
I didn’t do any research and watch these types of movies and overanalyze them. Having already been well-versed in the horror genre, for me it was making sure I was portraying this character in this world as accessible, human and as real as possible. That’s the only way people relate to a character who is so out-there.
~ Elisabeth Harnois Quote
Christina may seem weird but she’s actually like a lot of teenagers. She’s constantly asking ‘Will I be a good person or a bad person?’ and ‘How can I resist temptation?’
~ Elisabeth Harnois Quote
I am so masochistic, I love to be scared, and I think The Exorcist is one of the scariest movies ever made. I can watch it over and over, and I’m still frightened by it.
~ Elisabeth Harnois Quote
I love Pilates. I find it to be the best thing for me. It’s not too high-impact, it’s relaxing, and yet it works you out.
~ Elisabeth Harnois Quote
I was a PA – I was digitizing interview tapes like this one. Ultimately, my reasons for wanting to be involved on the production side and starting at the bottom was that it was a step forward to doing my own independent projects.
~ Elisabeth Harnois Quote
To be clear, I was raised Catholic and am not the daughter of Satan.
~ Elisabeth Harnois Quote
Eventually, I would love to direct an episode, but I don’t want to talk too soon about it. I don’t want to get ahead of myself.
~ Elisabeth Harnois Quote
Somewhere along the way, I realized how much I was missing from this creative side, so now I know I can still get to that goal of producing my own films and such, but I can also do this as well.
~ Elisabeth Harnois Quote
The thing about this show is that it’s a supernatural drama, but it’s very much grounded in the reality of normal human struggles. In portraying the character, it’s been mostly about playing it as real as possible. Now, of course, when I’m staring at someone with the evil eye, that’s fun because you don’t get to do that in normal life very often. You definitely feel that way sometimes, so it’s definitely fun to be able to manifest those emotions for no reason. But for me it was most important to portray this character grounded in reality, in the normal sort of teen struggles.
~ Elisabeth Harnois Quote
It's more psychological than physical - the way they're making these visual connections between the cause and effects of what she does and what happens. It's not so literally about zapping someone with my fingers; it's more of a psychological visual connection. If you look in my head, we know it's not going to cause a good result.

I think San Diego is one of the most beautiful parts of the country.
