Once Everton has touched you, nothing will be the same.
ALAN BALLOnce Everton has touched you, nothing will be the same.
ALAN BALLSometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once and it’s too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst.
ALAN BALLWe don’t have any real sense of community anymore.
ALAN BALLI don’t necessarily believe in vampires or werewolves or that kind of thing, but I believe there is definitely a realm we don’t necessarily have access to.
ALAN BALLSometimes there’s so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can’t take it, and my heart is going to cave in.
ALAN BALLI’m not like J.K. Rowling, where I know there’s going to be this number of seasons, and I know exactly what’s going to happen.
ALAN BALLWe live in a time where there’s an alienation factor. There’s a certain disconnection.
ALAN BALLI felt pride, wonderful pride, when I was captain. It was an honour to take over from Labby. Anybody who has ever captained a big club, which Everton are, will tell you it’s a great honour.
ALAN BALLNot everything is going to be successful. To strive for that is really naive. You just do the best you can do.
ALAN BALLI’d seen ‘Interview with A Vampire’ and saw Dracula movies growing up, but I never thought, ‘I love vampires; I have to do a show about vampires.’
ALAN BALLIt’s also easy to look at them as a metaphor for a shadow organization that says one thing and has a completely different agenda on their mind, and anybody who gets in their way, they just get rid of them. Does that sound familiar?
ALAN BALLI think vampires are a timeless powerful archetype that can tap into people’s psyches.
ALAN BALLMakes you wonder what else you can do that you’ve forgotten about.
ALAN BALLI certainly believe that what we perceive as humans is just the tip of the iceberg.
ALAN BALLIn my own life, I think legends of supernatural, mythic things are really just a manifestation of the collective unconscious. So I don’t really get freaked out.
ALAN BALLI try to tell the best story, and the story that has some heart and some genuine terror and some social commentary and some comedy and some romance and some sex and some violence.
