I came from Canada, where it's freezing cold for seven months out of the year.

The thing I love about vampires that I find so fascinating is that, unlike other sci-fi creations, they aren't monsters from the get-go, they're human beings first... and so what kind of human you are would dictate what kind of vampire you would be.

I went to McGill University, but I didn't graduate. They won't graduate me because I didn't have a degree in any one thing. I studied everything and they were like, "You studied too many things, so we can't give you a degree."

I like stepping out of my comfort zone.

You only know who you think you are. You sort of feel like you could change at any minute.

I volunteer with School on Wheels in Los Angeles, and I also tutor with Koreh L.A.

I go to a lot of museums, I read a ton of poetry - anything that's a creative expression of oneself, I find really inspiring.
