Vampires are a genre now.

I figured that, if you do a vampire movie in Hollywood, you've made it.

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

Over the years all these vampire movies have come out and nobody looks like a vampire anymore.

Every vampire fiction reinvents vampires to its own needs. You take what you want.

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

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.

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.'

All writers are vampires.

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