"I was so surprised Im doing any of this. Im not interested in vampires at all. (Laughs) When I first got sent the script for Underworld I didnt read it, but then I thought, hmm, vampires and werewolves... not really my kind of thing.

God! let the torrents, like a shout of nations, Answer! and let the ice-plains echo, God! God! sing, ye meadow-streams, with gladsome voice! Ye pine-groves, with your soft and soul-like sounds!
