I definitely fell in love with 'Dracula' when I was 13. I found it so fascinating and so dark and romantic.

I read 'Dracula' in high school. I've been around vampires forever.

Count Dracula had directed me to go to the Golden Krone Hotel, which I found, to my great delight, to be thoroughly old-fashioned, for of course I wanted to see all I could of the ways of the country.

I've always been a Dracula/vampire aficionado, being half-Romanian myself. Dracula has always been close to my heart - in fact, I have a first edition of Bram Stoker's book. I read it over and over again as a young kid.

I bring a copy of 'Dracula' with me wherever I go, the book. It's my favorite book in the world, it's absolutely incredible. My great-great grandfather was the guy who printed the first edition, so he's the first person to ever put 'Dracula' on the written page.

This is an area you always need to address when you're dealing with Dracula is the fact that there is something kind of attractive in his darkness - which there isn't in other horror characters.

When I started writing about vampires, I swore that I wouldn't touch the 'Dracula' legend because it's been done too many times.

When I was younger, I used to watch all the black-and-white 'Dracula's and 'Frankenstein's.

Dracula, if he could see modern corporations, wouldn't like them much. He took care of his people, at least as he saw it. They had very little freedom, but they had a protector.

I did a film called Dracula and it was very nice because I had lots of trips to New York on Concorde.
