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.

I feel like there's different kinds of evil and there's different kinds of villains, and as much as I would like to be dark and playing with knives... it's not me and it's not my look.

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 try to be really, really specific, because each character is really an individual and you have to find out what makes them unique.

I'm just basically a workaholic.

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."

My hair walks into a room before I do.
