The Idea Of Celibate Vampires Is Ridiculous.

There Is A Fetishization Of Victimization In Our Culture. And I Just Am Not Interested In Victimhood.

I Am A Little Suspicious Of Industry Paradigms. I Feel Like So Many Movies And Tv Shows Feel So Familiar Because Of Over-reliance On These Paradigms.

I Know A Lot Of Shows Are Like, 'here's The Pages,' Right Before They Start Filming. I'd Have A Heart Attack. The Anxiety Would Be Way Too Much For Me. I Don't Have As Strong A Backbone As Those Other Show Writers.

It's Easy To Look At The Vampires As A Metaphor For Any Feared Or Misunderstood Group. It's Also Easy To Look At Them As A Metaphor For A Shadow Organization That Says One Thing And Has A Completely Different Agenda On Their Mind, And Anybody Who Gets In Their Way, They Just Get Rid Of Them. Does That Sound Familiar?

I Think It's Very Difficult, And It Requires A Tremendous Amount Of Spiritual Integrity And Discipline, To Not Be A Narcissist In A Culture That Encourages It Every Step Of The Way.
