    • (On landing the role in Vampire Diaries)Ian: It was a tough process getting this show because it was THE show to get. There was a lot of competition. Damon is one of the best characters you could ever dream of playing so I set my sights on him and made it happen.
    • Ian: I've got a lot of letters from prison. Lost was a big prison show. But it's really crazy when you get the letter that says, 'So, I'm getting out in three months, I've only been in for 17 years and I'd really like to meet you'. What's cool is that on The Vampire Diaries the writers are very young and the letters are really, really sweet.
    • Ian: I love to indulge in nice wine. One of my friends is one of the world's top sommeliers and, from spending time in Italy and France when I was younger and becoming immersed in wine culture, I've learned what I like. I know what to spend my money on. I'd love to create my own organic vineyard and wine label.
