I work with the Humane Society a lot and have three rescue cats.

We love things that are dangerous yet sexy. We love things that are powerful and wise.

I mean, there are some amazing storytelling being done on the small screen right now. That's what so cool about being in television right now. Studios, networks are starting to throw more resources, better writers, more production values... and to be part of that is awesome.

I can't let time move on without fighting tooth and nail and hopefully being a part of a revolution that is positive.

I'm from New Orleans. There's a lot of vampire mystique and mythology that resonates there, and I was fascinated by it. I always wanted to play one.

I have a million acquaintances but just two or three true friends. I can't hide anything from them.

There are always decades that interest people. For me, that's the Roaring Twenties.
