'Originals' is a show that is not about struggling as a vampire but reveling in it. It's about embracing vampirism.
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.
The vampire movies I embraced as a kid used vampirism as a metaphor that expressed deep sadness and a lot of human qualities.
I have always enjoyed vampire stuff without ever having been a full vampire geek. I suppose I love the idea of blood thirst because it can say so much about us, not simply about addiction but about all those desires that can tear a family apart.
We're trying keep 'The Originals' in the same world as 'The Vampire Diaries.'
For me, playing a vampire isn't about the fact that they're a vampire, it's about who they are specifically.
I think 'Chris' is way more about that, about living desire as a force of chaos and about reveling in that chaos.
There are two levels of vampirism: one is the regular vampire, which is just like it has always been; and then there's the super vampires, which are a new breed we've created.
I had auditioned for 'The Vampire Diaries' years ago before 'The Originals' happened, so I was familiar with that mythology.
Jordan doesn't really care about the blood," Simon said now. "His whole thing is about me being comfortable with what I am. Get in touch with your inner vampire, blah, blah."

I'm fighting it." Clary smiled faintly. "So your inner vampire is Magnus?
For me, embracing my own power is about embracing my right to be an individual.
My niece was very much caught up in the vampire craze for young adults, and she thought having a vampire boyfriend would be a cool thing. What do you do on a first date? The more I thought about it, the more fun I had imagining what you'd serve a vampire for dinner.
I thought about how I'd play a vampire for awhile because I grew up watching vampire films and reading books.
Say what you would about the dietary requirements, vampirism sure did do great things for the skin and body.
But other vampire stories? Well, no, I really haven't read too many, and I can't say I'm crazy about romantic vampires anyway - to me the vampire is simply an evil monster.
'Dancing With the Stars' is not a show about me - it's a show about my partner, it's a show about celebrities that join the show.
I love that the collapse of The Other Side is being felt in both 'The Vampire Diaries' and 'The Originals' universes - as someone who is a fan of both shows, it's very fun to watch.
