I would say, in humanity, there is some unbreakable element that makes us so special, and I would call that hope or a belief in something better. It's something that drives us.

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'm in a very good place now because I do theater, I do TV and I make movies. I was a dancer, so I dance a little bit. I was a musician, so I do a little bit of music. And I do all of this in four or five different languages, and all over the world.

I'm very happy where I am, with the comradery with the incredible actors, producers and writers [of The Strain]. I am ready and very excited to work here. There is a potential here. Even though survival here is hard, work is hard and commitment is harder, the potential for where you can go can bring you further. This is the country that is possible. That's not possible in Europe.

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'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.

If I do a lot of television, than I miss theater. If I do a lot of theater, than I miss film. This global thing of performing arts gives me strength.
