Maybe it has less to do with vampires and immortality and more to do with personality. [Here is someone who would be shocked to learn what Spike was like before his vampire days.]
[That comment gets a light laugh.] I'm not so sure. There's a great deal about me that's never come up in our odd little conversations and encounters.
