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.

In Hawaii, they're happy to hear that you're filming a show. They love it that people actually come and make use of their beautiful landscapes.

Most actors will tell you that it takes a while to figure out what you want to be because we just want to do everything we see on TV and don't know that 'actor' is a job yet.

For me, playing a vampire isn't about the fact that they're a vampire, it's about who they are specifically.

With any character, I try to focus more on who the character is and how they got to be who they are.

I drink tons of water. It always sounds like the lamest thing, but there's a reason you keep hearing this over and over again. It really works.

I'm interested in everything about what it means to be a human being, so every role is an excuse to delve into a different way of life, a different socio-economic background, and a different tragic or comedic circumstance.
