I was obsessed with vampires when I was 13 or 14.

Becoming a vampire means completely changing your identity.

When people start to think they're figuring out 'The Vampire Diaries,' it switches on you.

I'm such a fan of Daniel Waters, who wrote the script, and also Mark Waters, his brother, who directed. 'Vampire Academy' has, I think, an iconic director.

I'm about to play an emaciated pregnant vampire, so I've stopped using as much butter as Paula Deen - just until 'Breaking Dawn' is over.

One of my favorite vampire movies is 'Nosferatu,' which has a palpable sense of dread that's a pre-war dread.

I'm not a vampire movie fan, per se. That's not to say that I haven't enjoyed movies with vampires in them.

I had auditioned for 'The Vampire Diaries' years ago before 'The Originals' happened, so I was familiar with that mythology.

Not to disparage anything, but most vampire stories tend to be romance novels that are 'Twilight'-ish with metrosexual guys.

I got my feet wet in a couple of shows. I did a cameo on my favorite show, 'The Vampire Diaries.' And I guest starred on a show called 'Kickin' It' on Disney.

Memnoch the Devil happen to be my favorite of all The Vampire Chronicles.

I think it's cyclical. Zombies have been around for ages, and vampires have run their course; we've had so many vampire movies.

You have Vampire Weekend who have more African references musically than most African-American artists.

I like 'Vampire Diaries' because it has great stories.

Into every generation comes a vampire.

My grandfather used to be a dentist, and he made me these retainers that have vampire teeth on them.

'Interview with a Vampire' made vampires sexy.

I figured that, if you do a vampire movie in Hollywood, you've made it.
