I only eat candy on Halloween. No lie.

I love my little sister to death

I was brought up bilingual, but there came a point where my mom went back to work and I got a white babysitter, so sadly I lost it. Now I can understand Spanish and put words together, but I don't speak it fluently. I'm ashamed of that.

When our executive producer, Julie Plec, told me I was going to become a hybrid I got really excited. Because theres a lot of responsibility that comes with that, especially in our world of The Vampire Diaries where Tyler is the first successful hybrid thats made.

I would love to dive into an indie film based on the streets of East Los Angeles where I grew up. If that doesn't come my way soon, I think I just might have to write it myself.

I've got to bring it 'cause they're going to compare me to that Taylor [Lautner] kid, and if I don't bring it, I'm just going to get crushed.

I'm a full-blooded Mexican. My mother was born in Zacatecas, Mexico, and my father - the son of Mexican immigrants - was born near Fresno, California.

I don't know if it's a stare or if it's something I do with my eyes when I'm really focused in on someone or something. Apparently it comes out every now and then.

With all due respect to Taylor Lautner and his 18-pack abs, my werewolf is going to be 100 times cooler!
