I don't ship anyone. I really don't. I'm not a shipper, but I'm all for men duking it out for a chick.

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

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.

Some of my favorite moments from The Vampire Diaries were from season 3. I found the storyline between Stefan and Klaus to be extremely compelling. It was a friend/foe type friendship, rooted in depth that took us back to the 1920s.

As I've grown older, the simple pleasure of sitting on the couch with someone you love and watching a documentary is about as good as it gets for me.

As everybody knows, chicks dig the vampires.

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