Zap2It has an interview with Julie Plec.
Check it all out here and here.
Here is an excerpt:
Zap2it caught up with executive producer Julie Plec to discuss Damon’s apparent downward spiral. She reminded us of something Stefan said to Damon in the Season 2 premiere. “At the beginning of the season, Stefan said to Damon, ‘Katherine ruined you once. Don’t let it happen again,’” she says.
Katherine’s absence in Damon’s life over the last 145 years left room for what Plec calls “the parts of Damon that are so self-destructive and so violent and so aggressive.” Damon has lived in that dark place for so long that it’s become his nature. Of course, there’s something to be said for nurture – and Damon has changed.
“He keeps himself in check because he wants to be, as Elena says, the better man,” Plec says. “Not because of who Katherine was, but because of who Elena is.”
