I started working in front of the camera for the first time when I was 15 years old. I joined a soap opera. We filmed in Brooklyn and I would skip class to shoot my scenes. It was terrifying and I entirely self-conscious in front of the camera.

I wasn't some weird loner in school, but I definitely wasn't invited to any of the cool parties. Girls didn't like me that much -- I didn't even go to my prom.

With each new character, I find something new about myself that I didn't know before.

Every role presents a new opportunity for me to do something different and to explore something different.

As everybody knows, chicks dig the vampires.

I'm always moving apartments or moving houses or moving cities.

You're totally hooking up with my brother. I don't care.
