For me, Dracula has always been associated with travel and beautiful historical places.

I'd rather be with Dracula than the Wolfman.

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.

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

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

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.

For my part, if the audience wanted to see Dracula again, I would be happy to reprise the role. It is an immortal character that can appear anywhere because it lies beyond time. Possibilities are endless.

Dracula appeared at a time of great technological revolution, utilizing telegraphs, typing machines, and blood transfusions.

I certainly didn't want to make another movie that's 'just another Dracula film.'
