For me, what makes life enjoyable is having a shared culture and shared references.

Change the scheme! Alter the mood! Electrify the boys and girls, if you'd be so kind.

I'm not a Tony Blair impersonator.

With vampires, there is such a great tradition that you suddenly find yourself a part of. Each generation reinvents what that means to them.

A lot of the times when I've auditioned for parts in America, the answer is, 'Sorry, we need a bigger name.'

I try not to pay any attention to clothes fascism and I'd rather be thought of as someone who has his own sense of style.

I remember someone said to me, "Never stand up when you can sit down, never sit down when you can lie down, never lie down when you can be asleep." Those are bits of advice that I haven't taken, really. I've done the opposite of them, but they have stayed with me.
