I'm a sucker for movie reruns. Anytime they're on, I can't leave the house.

I like sunglasses, the bigger the better, but I lose about a pair a week.

'Catcher in the Rye' changed my life when I was a kid. I read it as I was a boy turning into a man, and I was so fascinated by the values. I believe in it.

I think the biggest advice I would give to any actor who's directing and also acting at the same time is don't even watch your coverage. You do a scene, and then, you know what you did; it doesn't matter what you look like.

The vampire story is something that has existed since 'Nosferatu,' and I don't think it's gonna go away.

I think any girl would throw me under a bus to be within five feet of Robert Pattinson. I actually think he's an attractive guy. And I watched most of 'Twilight,' and I think he was really intriguing.

My wife made me a book of photographs she took of our road trip across the United States. Makes for a good coffee table book.

I started working in front of the camera for the first time when I was 15 years old. I joined a soap opera. We filmed in Brooklyn, and I would skip class to shoot my scenes.

I don't have television so I don't watch TV.

I'm pretty neurotic.

Growing up in New Jersey, everyone wanted to be a tough guy. That meant baggy pants that fell down, big T- shirts, and chains. I couldn't imagine wearing tight jeans, as I thought it was dorky. Now I look at pictures of me then and think, 'Yeah, you looked dorky.'

I look for characters that are extremely flawed and the anti-hero.

The thing I love about being an actor is the ability to travel and experience new cultures.

I'm a sucker for movie reruns. Anytime they're on, I can't leave the house.

It's so funny: I sort of fell into genre roles, but I'm not really a genre guy.

I always get jealous when I'm in London because the men are so well put together. They wear suits with shoes and ties that have splashes of colour here and there.

With all due respect to 'The Vampire Diaries,' doing the same thing, over and over again, for essentially five years straight, it really becomes laborious and tedious, and it becomes a job. You obviously find gratification in acting, but you're playing the same character. No matter how compelling it is, it starts feeling pretty monotonous.

Paul Wesley

I would hope that, for me, regardless of what happens in my career in the future, I always want to maintain a level of humility. I think it's so important to not lose yourself and to just understand that you're a conduit.

Paul Wesley

I'll fully admit that when I went to the movie theater and saw 'Titanic,' I cried afterwards.

Paul Wesley

Let's put it this way: if I were to direct a feature film, I would not be in it.

Paul Wesley

I think the way a person dresses is an expression of their personality, and I appreciate a well-tailored suit and the work that goes into it. But when it comes to fashion, on a scale of one to ten, I'm a two.
