Quotes by Joseph Morgan
I know Charles Michael Davis. I used to play poker with him when I lived in Los Angeles.
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.
'The Vampire Diaries' is a great show, but it's on the verge of being overcrowded. The amount of characters, a lot of them don't get screen time because there's so much to put in, and it has to center around the love triangle.
I thought I'd make a really great director because I'm an actor. Like, I thought I could really direct actors.
I grew up reading 'Lord of the Rings' and comic books, so that kind of epic quality I like.
I wanted to only do one season when I came onto 'Vampire Diaries' because I thought there was only so much to explore.
