“The idea of Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Dracula, all I could think of was,...” — Victoria Smurfit Quote

“The idea of Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Dracula, all I could think of was, why haven't they done this with him before? It's such a genius idea. 'Dracula' has always been done as film, so it's been an hour and 40 minutes. What we're done is 10 hours of 'Dracula,' so you have a lot of freedom with all the different mythologies and nuances.”

“If you're Irish, it doesn't matter where you go - you'll find family.”

“I think 'Trial & Retribution' as a brand can go on forever. Its joy is that it has, to an extent, a formula, which gives a comfort routine for viewers. But we allow our directors total autarchy in putting their personalities on their stories.”

“You know honestly I think there's a Dracula, a Wolf Man, and a Frankenstein's Monster in all of us. They are sides of our own character so that's why I think we can relate to them in terms of a 'I know how that feels' kind of thing.”

“To win a woman, take her with you to see Dracula.”

“When I started writing about vampires, I swore that I wouldn't touch the 'Dracula' legend because it's been done too many times.”
