I think it's a blessing that the show [Dracula] is on a network because it forces everyone to use their imaginations and be creative. The power of suggestion comes back. So, in the sex scenes, no one is ever fully naked, but I feel the suggestion is so much sexier.

I haven't ever seen a period drama that has a fantasy element to it, that's set in London, that's as lavish as it is, and that's made for American TV.

There are so many sitcoms. So, when you get to be a part of something that feels exciting to you, you just want to be a part of it.

I'm perfectly honest, I've never seen Twilight, I've never seen The Vampire Diaries, and I've never seen True Blood, or anything like that.

Everyone wants to see someone shoot someone in the head.

Nowadays, everything is so gratuitous. The violence is suggested, and it's much more impactful than showing everything.

Dracula isn't just another vampire show. It's something entirely different that I personally feel I've never seen on American TV before.
