Often times people complain about the lack of time in television, but I have to say, you don`t have any more time to film in feature films then you do in television. It`s just a question of how many scenes you`ll be doing in the course of a day.

I`m always a fan of a good horror film.

To me, the psychology behind the character is critical. So I work very hard to get into the mind of the man that I`m going to be playing, because number one, I want to understand why he`s doing what he`s doing. It`s essential, it`s absolutely essential.

It was good to travel to the other side of the world.

In older vampire films, they had to have actual prosthetic devices. Today, with special effects, we`re able to create more stunning effects.

If you go back to the Conan the Barbarian series, I really liked that.

The only dangerous scene is when James Cromwell put a stake in my chest. But other than that, it turned out to be quite a punch. I didn`t think much of it.

And I thought that was the best way for me to participate, because standing in the crowd and listening is a fantastic education, but it`s not my nature. I need to be involved. So I did that instead.

Every show I`ve been on has been cancelled eventually. I don`t know if it gotten beaten out by a competitor or whether not. I`m not into speculating.

My family life and my ideals, my commitment to the community and to other people - all people - has been improved. I think less about myself and more about my community today.

So I think what you see in this show is it`s really not a just world at all, but you get what you give. So in terms of world view, I would say that`s where the differences lie.

But only if I believe that my directing talents will improve the material I`d be working on. I want to make sure I don`t sacrifice beautiful material on the altar of my direction.

I`m not a good enough singer to pull off the effect.

If the story`s interesting and it`s a compelling script, I`d be thrilled to be a part of it.

I was a child when the March on Washington led by Martin Luther King occurred, and I wanted to hear what was going on. I wanted to be a part of it. I wanted to contribute in the best way I possibly could.

Cops and robbers resemble each other, so there`s not a lot to learn in terms of learning the logistics of committing the crime or investigating the crime.

The ability for the vampire`s eyes to transform and their teeth to extend and the act of the attack itself is helpful in creating the horror effect.

I worked with people I admire; Josh Lucas, who I`d worked with many many years ago on a pilot called The Class of 61 and Kurt Russell, and so there were a variety of different people that I enjoyed working with.

For me the march was a labor - a labor of love - but I was busy handing out flyers for the National Association of Black Social Workers, so I really wasn`t standing in the crowd listening and observing. I was busy.

They`re mutually incompatible I feel; being a wise thief and a wise father.
