There is this arrogant feeling of being stronger than human. Humans are weak. They submit to their emotions, and vampires do not. Humans are very egoistic, and vampires are not.

I have a cultural background that's shaped in England, France and Germany. Bringing that in is nice, in terms of how an actor plays a role or speaks in an interview.

I've always been open. That's made my resume. I go with what happens, and then I try to make good choices with what I get offered.

It's a very beneficial experience for me that America has started to be interested in me. I get offers here, and I'm very open to having a new spring in my career here.

I know what it means to sit in that chair for four or five hours. For me, it's actually thrilling because I get to know something that I'm not used to. The others do that every working day. It's a real commitment, not only in terms of acting in front of a camera, but just in order to get there.

If you have a big idea, you can do 10% of it, and then maybe, if it's a huge success, you might go all-in [in Europe]. Here [in U.S], you go all-in earlier. You risk more and you get more, so you do more. That's what I like.

I can bring in experiences that other actors who only grew up in television do not have.
