I went to a French school, so we didn't study Bram Stoker there. I just thought it was a genius thing.

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

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.

Everyone wants to see someone shoot someone in the head.

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

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

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.
