The vampires have always been metaphors for me. They've always been vehicles through which I can express things I have felt very, very deeply.

Invest in a feather duster - the possibilities are endless.

I can't get very far away from Christianity, I can't get very far away from the angels and the saints. I work them in always, in some way.

Perhaps this is the only real evil left.

An evil for these times destined to move through the world in handsome human guise.

There is one purpose to life and one only: to bear witness to and understand as much as possible of the complexity of the world -- its beauty, its mysteries, its riddles. The more you understand, the more you look, the greater is your enjoyment of life and your sense of peace. That's all there is to it. Everything else is fun and games. If an activity is not grounded in "to love" or "to learn" it does not have value.

Evil is just a point of view
