I'm a big fan of the older vampire movies.

I think directing is a huge responsibility and it's not something where you can just be like, "Yeah, sure, I'll give it a go!" I think it's something you really need to focus on, and put a lot of effort and attention into.

With every single role, you're not going to get a role unless you invest your whole heart into it.

In all honesty I think that I've had a very normal life, even though I've been making movies since I was 9.

When you get to play a character that's in love, it's cool.

I started acting when I was about nine. I always wanted to get into acting since I was really little but my parents would never let me because they'd heard all the bad stuff about being in the business as a young actor and stuff like that.

Vampires can do whatever they want whenever they want, like fly around all the time. Plus, girls love vampires. Maybe they don't want to admit it, but they do, which is a plus.
