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

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.

We read the [Dracula] scripts, but Jess [De Gouw] and I are completely taken out of the hunts and anything with Van Helsing. We're just living our lives, as our characters.

I went to a French school, so we didn't study Bram Stoker there. I just thought it was a genius thing.

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.

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