"I was so surprised I'm doing any of this. I'm not interested in vampires at all. (Laughs) When I first got sent the script for Underworld I didn't read it, but then I thought, hmm, vampires and werewolves... not really my kind of thing. And then when I got the script for this, again, I thought, "Oh, it all has to do with vampires and werewolves". But I thought my character was so different. First of all, I'm not a vampire in this. (Laughs) She's a gypsy and she's much more passionate. It just seemed like a very good role."
