Nowadays, everything is so gratuitous. The violence is suggested, and it's much more impactful than showing everything.

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.

The most overpowering will is the will to not work.

People have a right to be nervous and fearful. They heard what Trump said during the campaign and are wondering if he'll follow through on his promises.

When you're famous, no one looks at you as a human anymore. You become the property of the public.

We were striving and struggling not just for a dream ticket, but a dream team...

Who knows whence he comes, where he is, and whither he tends, he, and he alone, is wise.

To sit in a big library amongst books and students, that was pretty cool. It was a novel experience for me.

So many things become beautiful when you really look.

As an actor I can sort of smell a duff note, that isn't full of that much conviction. My worst thing with directors is when I know more than them about the character.

I'm an A student. I'm addicted to feedback, and I want to please people. That's sort of how I've gotten to where I am.

I want to write the sort the book that my people want to read, even if the market is small.
