I think it's fascinating that there's a whole holiday dedicated to things that we fear and that's so interesting about the nature of humanity.

I think what matures us is time, not necessarily our physical bodies. So I think she can probably change as much as human would in the timespan of the show. However, I do think as a human you reach a point where there's a certain amount of humility and acceptance of life and its consequences when you see your own body change and age, and the pounds come or the wrinkles come.

Things that are unknown attract us.

Acting is somewhat mysteriously taught. There are so many different methods and systems and processes for teaching acting because it will always be an elusive art-form.

Even just pestering people with questions, and being nosey and pushy and getting her way, are things I think many young women grow up struggling with, to assert themselves.

I think we need that to ground us as human beings. I would imagine after an extended amount of time, a vampire might stall a little bit.
