Alex O'Loughlin: Mick St. John

Quotes 

• Mick St. John : Sixty years is a long time to live in darkness. A long time to deny yourself the touch of another. But you do it. You do it because you just can't bear the thought of seeing yourself as a monster in someone else's eyes.

• Josef : The challenge for our kind is to continually find new reasons to live.

  Mick St. John : And what are you living for after all this time.

  Josef : The best reason of all, my friend. Love.

• Mick St. John : They say there's someone out there for everyone. But what if that person was born in a different time? What if you never would've met but for one horrific twist of fate? And what if you finally found her and you knew there was no way? What then?

• Mick St. John : What have you done to me?

  Coraline : I made you immortal

  Mick St. John : No. You've made me a monster.

• Mick St. John : There are a lot of misconceptions about vampires. Garlic and holy water don't do jack. And crucifixes? Come on. You can spot a vampire if you know what to look for, though. The dead don't give off body heat.

• Mick St. John : What do you do when what you want most and what you fear most are the same thing? What then? Live long enough and the past always catches you.

• Mick St. John : You know what? Being a vampire sucks. Bad joke, but it's the truth. See, what you don't realize until you become immortal is that life is precious because it ends. It's only when you live forever that you begin to understand how few things actually make life worth living.

• Beth Turner : You were at the other crime scene.

  Mick St. John : Yeah.

  Beth Turner : Do you have some connection with the case or are you just a crime scene junkie?

• Mick St. John : I'm working the case on my own.

  Beth Turner : How come?

  Mick St. John : Because I don't like seeing people get away with this kind of thing.

  Beth Turner : You don't think the police will catch whoever's behind this?

  Mick St. John : They might. In time. But they're hamstrung by rules and regulations. I'm not.

  Beth Turner : So, you work outside of the law. Is that what you're saying?

  Mick St. John : Let's just say I work parallel to it.
