I think half of what a trainer does is make you feel shame if you don't show up.

Vampires are so old that they don't need to impress anyone anymore. They're comfortable in their own skin. It's this enigmatic strength that's very romantic and old-fashioned. I think it goes back to something of a Victorian attitude of finding a strong man who's going to look after his woman.

I think the show does better with newsmakers and politicians than it does with actors.

I think sometimes all the charities are doing is mopping up the blood. It's a shame.

I often think a lot of women's attraction to vampires is based on the fact that vampires come from centuries ago, from eras of chivalry and courtly virtues.

I think all of us feel like we're a bit on show, all the time.
