I think vampires are a timeless powerful archetype that can tap into people's psyches.

Life is suffering. We have desires and expectations and egos, and we compare the reality we have, which is miraculous and wondrous, with this reality we desire. That somehow distances us from actually taking part fully with the reality we do have, and that creates suffering. For me, the thing that I love is that it's all about the present moment.

I'm used to American actors who have a movie career thinking television acting is beneath them.

Not everything is going to be successful. To strive for that is really naive. You just do the best you can do.

Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst.

My own belief is that people can come back from anything. It doesn't mean that it won't come at a huge cost.

It's a lot harder to find fault with the mundane details of daily existence when you really, really know on a cellular level that you're going to go, and that this moment, right now, is life. Life isn't what happens to you in 20 years. This moment, right now, is your life.
