Dish Magazine has an interview with Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder.
Read the entire interview here.
Here is an excerpt:
Later on, we got to probe Damon himself, Ian Somerholder, about his thoughts on vampires, love, and his character. Damon, considered the “Evil” brother, feasts on humans as he pleases, but Somerholder believes the brothers are more complicated than merely “good” and “evil.” “I think there is as much room for good in Damon as there is for evil in Stefan. I mean, we all have it inside of us.”
He says of the brothers, “Damon says things that are true because Damon is very truthful. Even if he’s a deviant bastard, he is still telling you the truth. And I think she [Elena] feels she’s been lied to by Stefan. In Stefan’s defense, he has essentially had to lie to her to protect her.”
