Alice and I, we'd met before, but we were able to kind of sit and chat on the set of Dark Shadows, and talk about maybe writing some songs together. We started doing that, and then one thing led to another and it became this Vampire project - because he was telling stories about all those days, which were fascinating.

After having been confined to a television series - and it's a luxury job - where you can't play anything but one particular character for nine months out of the year, it will make you insane. It didn't affect me. I got out quick enough.

It's an odd thing when there is a fan page for my daughter who is not yet 13.

I really love the experience of moving things around, in terms of being a director.

Tomorrow it'll all be over, then I'll have to go back to selling pens again.

I really loved the idea of playing opposite Marlon Brando and being the crazy one.

People will say a movie bombed at the box office but I couldn't care less.
