Julie Plec Quotes

American - Producer | May 26, 1972 -

A long-running show leaves behind a legacy of storytellers and their relationship with the audience.

Relationship Legacy Audience Show

'The Vampire Diaries' is a serialized drama. It deserved its final chapter.

Drama Chapter Vampire Final Deserved

The intensity of the story breaking on 'Vampire' has never been easy. Every week, you're starting with a blank board and trying to make a new movie. There's no formula; there's no franchise to hang your hat on.

Hat Story Week Trying Easy You

The way that 'Vampire' was born was over a lunch. We got asked to do the show. A week later, we were hired. A week later, we were writing it. The minute we handed it in, it was ordered. The minute we shot it, it was picked up. Then we started working. There was never any, like, 'OK, here's what this show is...' We had to figure it out as we went.

Lunch Writing Week Born Way Never

Every night, I will write until I'm done. Until my eyes are burning and tearing, and I can't see the computer screen anymore, till I finish the script, till I get to the point where I'm happy stopping, till I get everything off my plate, because I hate going to bed with a full plate. It makes me very neurotic.

Eyes Hate Happy Me Night Done

If I walk into the editing room, it's six hours lost. I'm massaging frames. I'm, like, 'Oh, take six frames off that shot. Hit the music cue right there.' I will drive everybody crazy if left to my own devices in that room. So I try to do everything I can by staying out of the way.

Music Walk Crazy Drive I Can Lost

I work very hard so that I can be present all the time for what I do and then carve out little pockets of time as I desire for my personal life.

Life Work Time Present I Can Desire

Showrunning is an arrogant job. You have to be arrogant and hold yourself strong in order for people to hear you. Confidence partners with arrogance. The only person you have to trust is yourself. The only instinct you can trust is your own.

Confidence Trust Job Yourself People

An actor's only perception is of their character, and they're looking at one piece. A writer is looking at the entire story. They're going to see things that the writer didn't see because they're only looking through their lens.

Character Perception Looking Story

The problem with ratings is that you can give yourself a million reasons why they are what they are.

Yourself Problem You Why Give

I learned that getting a movie made in Hollywood is a near impossibility, and the process can be a wild adventure. TV is a lot more consistently productive - no offense to the beautiful world of feature film.

Beautiful Adventure World Process

Because I was such a student of pop culture growing up, I love that on the list of things that I got to work on in my first years out of college were 'Scream' and 'Dawson's Creek' and, ultimately now, 'The Vampire Diaries,' which generations below me grew up on and can quote. I love that. I think that is the coolest thing in the world.
