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

Nowadays, everyone broadcasts everything about their life - I think vampires are really sexy because there's so much that you don't know about them. There's a lot of mystery.

For many years I had heard about an underworld consisting of people who act out a vampire fantasy while I was living in New York. Fortunately for me there are also several books on the phenomena.

When I go home, the last thing I want to do is read about the popular lore of vampires.

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

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

Some people are so famous that the legends about them and the cultural aftermath of their life altogether obscure the real human being.

I feel like there's something interesting to learn from anyone's story, no matter their place in society. I think we've gotten really far away from that - we're in such a celebrity-obsessed culture.

I was thinking about vampires and, specifically, about what makes vampires a romantic trope: about what people like about not just vampires but supernaturally long-lived creatures in general, which is a thing that shows up in probably fifty to sixty percent of paranormal romances... And then, for some reason, I decided to reverse it.

All writers are vampires.
