I would never assume to tell another actor how to do his job!

If you're working with someone who you get on with and you're supposed to hate them on the screen, then you get this playful challenge thing where you're trying to one-up each other and that's really interesting. Sometimes it can become like tennis. The harder you hit the ball back, then the harder the hit it back to you.

I've always had an incredible interest in the villains, which are a lot more fun to play.

What's weird is to hear someone else talking about your mannerisms.

I loved working with Mickey Rourke. He's a wonderful kind of crazy.

I've always been fascinated with everything behind the camera and in front.

When you're indestructible, then nothing is a threat really. So nothing needs to be taken that seriously.

There seems to be a feeling we need Klaus to be in 'The Vampire Diaries,' surely and partially because of the Klaus and Caroline dynamic, but many people love the character. They want to see more of the character, but people really have a tendency to fear the unknown.

I loved Zack Snyder's 'Dawn of the Dead' and '28 Days Later' and '28 Weeks Later.' I would love to be involved with a film that shows the breakdown of society and a small group of survivors in a world that has crumbled. That's something I would like to explore.

I love 'The Walking Dead.' I'm a massive fan of that show.

We moved to Wales when I was quite young, but we frequently visited the rest of my family, especially my mother's side.

If I could separate 'The Originals' from 'The Vampire Diaries' in a nutshell, I'd say that 'The Vampire Diaries' is more coming-of-age, and we're more these monsters reveling in who they are and what they are.
