I'd seen 'Interview with A Vampire' and saw Dracula movies growing up, but I never thought, 'I love vampires; I have to do a show about vampires.'

I'm not a vampire movie fan, per se. That's not to say that I haven't enjoyed movies with vampires in them.

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.

Some movies to me are like vampires - they suck all of the energy out of me and I don't like that. I like to give the audience energy if I can.

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

I was obsessed with vampires when I was 13 or 14.

The phenomenon of vampires has always appealed to me. Everyone kind of likes a vampire story because it almost could be true.

I was kind of a dark kid. I loved Halloween, and I loved vampires and the black and white old monster movies.

The vampire movies I embraced as a kid used vampirism as a metaphor that expressed deep sadness and a lot of human qualities.
