For me, Dracula has always been associated with travel and beautiful historical places.

I wanted to play Dracula because I wanted to say: 'I've crossed oceans of time to find you.' It was worth playing the role just to say that line.

I definitely fell in love with 'Dracula' when I was 13. I found it so fascinating and so dark and romantic.

As a child, I was more afraid of tetanus shots than, for example, Dracula.

The 1890s was perhaps the most Gothic decade ever: 'Dracula,' 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' and 'The Time Machine,' not to mention 'Heart of Darkness' and 'The Interpretation of Dreams,' were all written between 1890 and 1899.

After college, I went on a real big classics kick. Read everything by Faulkner, Hemingway, Woolf, Proust, Dostoevsky. And that classics train dropped me off at 'Dracula.' Halfway through it, I understood I'd never be going back, never 'leaving' the genre again. Since then, I've been on a fairly strict horror diet.

Slumber party with Dracula, all things considerd why not?

For me Dracula has always been associated with travel and beautiful historical places.

Each of us needs something - food liquor pot whatever - to help us survive. Dracula needs blood.

As a child I was more afraid of tetanus shots than for example Dracula.

I'm getting a lot of stick because my character in 'Young Dracula' wanted to be vampire so now that I am a vampire everyone's like 'You finally did it!' But it's cool and I loved doing 'Young Dracula.' That show's finished and I don't know why it ended so it was brilliant to go into 'Being Human ' which is like the adult version of it.

When I was old enough to go to movies alone I got to see 'Frankenstein' and 'Dracula' on the big screen. I just fell in love with them.
