Dracula isn't just another vampire show. It's something entirely different that I personally feel I've never seen on American TV before.

Everyone wants to see someone shoot someone in the head.

It was just hilarious how my first reaction was, "Oh, no, it's another vampire show. I'm not interested." And then, I read the script and thought it was brilliant.

There are so many sitcoms. So, when you get to be a part of something that feels exciting to you, you just want to be a part of it.

I haven't ever seen a period drama that has a fantasy element to it, that's set in London, that's as lavish as it is, and that's made for American TV.

I rarely watch TV, and in the past two years, I've done three TV shows. It's quite interesting.

You work with seasoned actors, and sometimes you realize that they phone it in.

As the show [Dracula] goes on,Jonathan Harker gets darker and darker, and further into that side of it all. All of the worlds end up colliding and meshing together.

I think it's very rare, as an actor, that you get to a script, or an idea of a script, and you go, "Oh, I just have to do that!" It fell into place very quickly.

I'm perfectly honest, I've never seen Twilight, I've never seen The Vampire Diaries, and I've never seen True Blood, or anything like that.

We read the [Dracula] scripts, but Jess [De Gouw] and I are completely taken out of the hunts and anything with Van Helsing. We're just living our lives, as our characters.

Always take the scenic route.

What's the problem?""You. All shirtless and stuff. My dragon won't let me fight you." Oh, God. It was so embarrassing even admitting it.

I have an incredible role model in my mom. She was a single mother raising two kids in New York.

The whole idea of hobknobbing and schmoozing and the concept of an "elite" class of celebrities better than the common people has always made my stomach turn.

I was never a fan of anything, and yet some people are fans of my books. That's a bit odd. But I like meeting them.

Nobody keeps a cat. They condescend to live with you is all.

This thing that haunts you, that never seems satisfied, the cravings in your soul that you are unable to satiate through all the success that the world can bring this is your soul screaming for God.

I'm just a girl, With a dream that got the best of me, In a world that believes fame is everything.

Man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assured.

Man and wife, being two, are one in love.
