You spend your whole lifetime in your occupation, actually making life clever, easy and convenient for white people.

We know there are certain chemicals that are designed to give us a rush of pleasure. But, one of the most amazing things about being human is our capacity to override that pleasure.

I’m getting a lot of stick because my character in ‘Young Dracula’ wanted to be vampire, so now that I am a vampire, everyone’s like, ‘You finally did it!’ But it’s cool and I loved doing ‘Young Dracula.’ That show’s finished and I don’t know why it ended, so it was brilliant to go into ‘Being Human,’ which is like the adult version of it. — Craig Roberts
