Whether you're a vampire or werewolf, love is still love. Betrayal is still betrayal.
Have faith in yourself.
Although it may seem like it, life will never give you more than you can handle. That doesn't mean it's going to be easy; in fact, quite the opposite.
There have been many things in my life that have tried to break me, going back to when I was two and three years old. It never stops - life will always push you to your limit. The only way I've managed to survive it all is believing in myself and knowing, somehow, beyond everything telling me otherwise, that I will succeed.
I usually head up to the mountains or out into the desert. Somewhere nobody is. There I can dig deep and find the core that got me where I am today. It's sort of like my reset button.
I'm not afraid of scars, be them emotional or otherwise. I think it builds character, and if it doesn't destroy you, I truly believe it makes us stronger.
I'm pretty cerebral, so I can occasionally rationalize emotional pain away, but when I can't, that's when I start to feel the fire inside take over and somehow manage to power through.
It doesn't matter what it is, it doesn't matter if you have training or a background in it. Just create something, and lend a piece of yourself to that art.
Be brave enough to create.
It's much easier to put yourself out there under the guise of a character. You get a different name, different habits, different words. When I have to just be Nathan, that's when I feel vulnerable.
The human condition itself inspires me.
Life is going to test you. But no matter how bad it may seem, we can always step up and beat it.
I've always been drawn to stories and characters facing some sort of struggle against forces beyond our control, be it love, loss, betrayal.
Anything that forces the human soul to scream out and fight really brings out the best in us, and to have an opportunity to portray characters like that is inspiring.
Simply being myself makes me feel vulnerable.
When things get too chaotic, I need to roam.
My center is the soul of a gypsy.
As a kid, I was obsessed with myths and legends and the haunting beauty of gothic stories.
