Paul Wesley Provides Background on Stefan Salvatore

In an interview with iesb.net, the actor goes into detail about Stefan Salvatore. Here are a few excerpts:

On whether Stefan is all good: He's a vampire. He is constantly struggling with the dark side. He's constantly eager, and he has a need to feed on human blood. It's always there. It's not easy for him not to do it. I'm making Stefan have anger and a temper, but also passion, love and tenderness toward Elena. He's vicious and violent. He loves her and he'll die for her, but he's a violent creature.

On differences with his brother: Stefan hates being a vampire. He doesn't want to be a vampire. He believes it's immoral. He has a conflict. He does not want to take human life. He just wants to experience life as a normal human being, whereas his brother is completely basking in this. He loves vampirism. He's enjoying it. He's more gluttonous, in that regard.
