I was shy and a hard worker, so acting was a way to focus whatever nervous energy I was experiencing onto a goal.

It is said that our destiny is set, predetermined before conception. But I myself, have never been a believer.

You can't aspire to have heightened senses, whereas you can aspire to tell the truth, every single second, and you can aspire to be dogged and just never let anything be enough, never give in, and never give up.

I think it's fascinating that there's a whole holiday dedicated to things that we fear and that's so interesting about the nature of humanity.

Even just pestering people with questions, and being nosey and pushy and getting her way, are things I think many young women grow up struggling with, to assert themselves.

I feel like you have to go looking for spoilers. I'm not on social media, so I will watch a show that was on ten years ago, and clearly I could find out every single piece of information about that show, but I'm not trying to spoil myself. You definitely participate in your own spoiling.

I think heroism comes in different packages. The superhero package is one that we're familiar with.

All of the secrets the vampires held dear have been exposed, and the humans can now fight back as equals in a way, which is scary.

I have a policy that I don't actually watch the work that I do. There are all kinds of reasons to do that, but one really interesting side effect that has come about from that is that I have no imagery of the show that isn't from first-person.

I don't see myself going back to blonde outside of work though. I really like the red.

I think we need that to ground us as human beings. I would imagine after an extended amount of time, a vampire might stall a little bit.
