I think vampires would want to find a way to stay attached to the living, the way human beings do, and that is through love, interrelations and meaning.

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

I think vampires are different from human beings, but they're sentenced to eternity on this planet. They have the same confusion about love and permanence, integrity, and denial. These qualities really are the same in vampire characters as in humans. I think they're universal themes.

I think it's a part of us as human beings that we search outside of ourselves for meaning.

Remember that we are all human beings trying to do what we love to do.

Love other human beings as you would love yourself.
