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

As the show [Dracula] goes on,Jonathan Harker gets darker and darker, and further into that side of it all. All of the worlds end up colliding and meshing together.

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

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

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

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

It was just hilarious how my first reaction was, "Oh, no, it's another vampire show. I'm not interested." And then, I read the script and thought it was brilliant.
