“We're trying keep 'The Originals' in the same world as 'The Vampire Diaries.'”
“I've always been fascinated with everything behind the camera and in front.”
“I loved working with Mickey Rourke. He's a wonderful kind of crazy.”
“We moved to Wales when I was quite young, but we frequently visited the rest of my family, especially my mother's side.”
“I loved Zack Snyder's 'Dawn of the Dead' and '28 Days Later' and '28 Weeks Later.' I would love to be involved with a film that shows the breakdown of society and a small group of survivors in a world that has crumbled. That's something I would like to explore.”
“Vampires are a genre now.”
“I grew up reading 'Lord of the Rings' and comic books, so that kind of epic quality I like.”
“Dinner and a movie is pretty great.”
“I've always had an incredible interest in the villains, which are a lot more fun to play.”
“I know Charles Michael Davis. I used to play poker with him when I lived in Los Angeles.”
“I thought about how I'd play a vampire for awhile because I grew up watching vampire films and reading books.”
“I think that it's possible to have someone who is an anti-hero, who does tear hearts out and break necks, and you can still relate to him on a certain level.”
“'The Vampire Diaries' is a great show, but it's on the verge of being overcrowded. The amount of characters, a lot of them don't get screen time because there's so much to put in, and it has to center around the love triangle.”
“I wanted to only do one season when I came onto 'Vampire Diaries' because I thought there was only so much to explore.”
“If you're working with someone who you get on with and you're supposed to hate them on the screen, then you get this playful challenge thing where you're trying to one-up each other and that's really interesting. Sometimes it can become like tennis. The harder you hit the ball back, then the harder the hit it back to you.”
“There were a lot of fan-made trailers for 'The Originals.' The fans sort of decided it could be a show before anyone else did.”
“If I could separate 'The Originals' from 'The Vampire Diaries' in a nutshell, I'd say that 'The Vampire Diaries' is more coming-of-age, and we're more these monsters reveling in who they are and what they are.”
“I've done a lot of period drama before. A lot of my jobs have been that.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed working on 'Immortals.'”
“There's an actor in the TV show 'Prison Break,' Robert Knepper, who plays a violent sociopath, and he's just incredible in that role.”
