- Contrary to erroneous rumors about salary negotiations, Erin's departure from The L Word (2004) was purely a creative decision from the show's creators, in particular Ilene Chaiken and Rose Lam. The creators wanted to tell an impacting story about death from cancer, and believed that Erin's immensely popular character - tennis player Dana Fairbanks - was well-liked enough to send a very strong message about mortality. The decision to kill Dana was met with great opposition from cast members and Erin herself. To this day, this remains the show's most controversial storyline.

- "No, Not even remotely...Because I don't care. I don't pick roles based on how famous they are going to make me, I pick roles based on how they're going to inspire me intellectually." On being asked whether or not she was worried how playing a lesbian (on Showtime series, "The L Word") would reflect on her ability to get future acting roles.
- "Everyone goes through their 20s trying to figure out who they are. Sexuality included. Whether you're gay or straight or wherever you fall on the Kinsey scale." On why "The L Word" is a hit show.
