The vampire was a complete change from the usual romantic characters I was playing, but it was a success.

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'm really kind of a vampire at heart.

I was lucky enough to have a plethora of types of roles before and during the horror movie part of my career.

I'm getting a lot of stick because my character in 'Young Dracula' wanted to be vampire, so now that I am a vampire, everyone's like, 'You finally did it!' But it's cool and I loved doing 'Young Dracula.' That show's finished and I don't know why it ended, so it was brilliant to go into 'Being Human,' which is like the adult version of it.

'Interview with a Vampire' made vampires sexy.

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'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.'

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