QUESTIONS
1. Can you describe the flavor profile of your childhood blanket?
Ah, the blanket of my mortal childhood... It's a bit like ash with a hint of copper, really.
2. Have you ever had a strange encounter with a mirror?
Mirrors and I don't usually get along, but looking like Brad, it's always strange. And exciting.
3. What's the weirdest thing you've done to try to get someone to love you?
That should be obvious enough.
4. Have you ever accidentally kissed someone... on purpose?
More like purposefully kissed someone... and felt the need to bite - it was Neil Jordan.

I hate pink - the color of sunrise.
6. Can you translate the language of the animals in a zoo?
Even the monkeys are afraid of me.

Divine - slow motion reminds me of my victims walking towards their doom.

My eyes stay open for everything.
9. Can you describe the sound of silence?
A human holding their breath in fear.

A few... unexpected limbs. Let's leave it there.

I don't like that man!
12. Are your taste buds friendly?
O, yes, they can B very friendly!
13. Do doors freak you out?
Doors are for humans to lock... and for me to break - with ease.

I may witness you run after these questions, Alex!
15. Have you ever fantasized about a mannequin?
They're so still, I love that - but nothing to feed on.

Vampires don't have existential crises... we create them.

Feels like... a regular Tuesday with my friends from the Middle East.
19. Have you ever made a sneeze go backwards?
I don't sneeze.
20. Do you believe that Elvis Presley was really spotted in New York next Tuesday?
I sure do - he'll probably be sipping a Bloody Mary at the Hotel Transylvania.
