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've been offered quite a few network shows, over the past couple of years, and always turned them down because I never wanted the commitment. The way that it works in America, you do a pilot and then you wait, and I just thought that wasn't really what I was interested in doing, in that moment.

You work with seasoned actors, and sometimes you realize that they phone it in.

I rarely watch TV, and in the past two years, I've done three TV shows. It's quite interesting.

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.

Vampires have been romanticized, and this is bringing it right back to being vampiric. I think there's something sexy and raw about that.

On network, you have limitations for how raunchy it can get and how violent it can get.
