Aaron Spelling kept trying to bring vampires about, and I feel badly that it happened so much later. He was ahead of his time, in that regard.

A lot of people have a dissatisfaction or an anger in them, so as soon as something goes awry, they flip out.

When I went in for the [ Embraced] DVD interviews, I thought, "Good lord, it's 17 years later!" I thought that maybe I should do my make-up differently and put extra effort in, or I'd look like a different human being. It's very strange.

I guess I just take things as they come now, as far as that goes. I get really excited to do the project, but I don't think too much beyond that.

I loved playing Sasha. You don't have this on every job, or every show or movie, but every day was really an adventure, character wise, for what I got to do at that age.

Mark Frankel was just a very tender, thoughtful person, and that was really nice. At that point in life, I hadn't met a lot of people my senior who were that tender, and still doing well and making a real go of it. That was a treat, for sure.

Aaron Spelling was a huge fan of vampires, and everything in that genre. He just really loved the entire subject of vampires and he was really passionate about it. If you really like the idea of this other world and the intricacies of it, because there were a lot of them, and once you're hooked, it's always something that's a fascination to you.
