I think, in this country, anybody can do whatever they want to do as long as it's not hurting anybody else or violating the laws of society.

If you want to get married to a man, then get married to a man. If two women want to get married, they should get married. It's not hurting me.

The beautiful thing about this country is that I can be a Christian and feel free to do so. Or somebody cannot be a Christian and do whatever that entails. Or somebody can be a Christian and still be gay, and I support it.

The sci-fi fans in America... they are die-hard. They will follow you to the ends of the Earth. Once they attach themselves to a show and believe in the show and love the characters, they're there forever, and they're unshakeable.

When you deal with Alan Ball, you're dealing with a person who is a genius in terms of how art imitates life.

I am a vampire/werewolf and sci-fi fanatic. God is so good! I get to play in a series that has all that!

'Interview with a Vampire' is my all-time favorite. I also loved 'An American Werewolf in London.'
