It's cool to play a vampire and be a part of this new, hot genre.

There are many vampires in the world today... you only have to think of the film business.

Vampires used to be like Dracula, and now they're young teenage kids, so yeah, I like that.

I'm a big fan of vampire movies generally and that sort of tradition of characters.

I think the reason vampire movies have been so popular over time is that they share so many parallels with human beings.

I am a big fan of vampires. I've always been obsessed with the genre, and the beautiful romanticism and erotic kind of nature of the immortal being, the undead who lives on human blood.

There is a certain swagger with vampires.

Vampires have always been hot. They are one of our most durable monsters. It's one of those stories that galvanizes us early and it's always going on.

There were no vampires of note in Western literature until about the 18th century. But they tell us where we park our anxieties, whether its over-powerful women, death or damnation. We make our own monsters.
