Vampires are a genre now.

I wanted to branch out into American television, specifically because you get to develop a character for a longer period of time and you get to develop a relationship with the audience.

I'm self-conscious in photo shoots. I much prefer to do interviews and talk about the work.

You never want to play too vampiric or generically evil, so you look for emotions or character traits that you can relate to.

You know, I’m fan of women in general. I don’t want to discriminate.

It feels good to be awake, knowing others are asleep. Makes you feel like the night is not for everyone, just a chosen few.

Interview with a Vampire' made vampires sexy.

If you're working with someone who you get on with and you're supposed to hate them on the screen, then you get this playful challenge thing where you're trying to one-up each other and that's really interesting. Sometimes it can become like tennis. The harder you hit the ball back, then the harder the hit it back to you.
