Ian pratade med Yahoo bland annat om hur han förbereder sig för The Vampire Diaries (inga spoilers här), om han kommer vara med i en film och minnesvärda stunder från 2011.

About how long does it take you to learn your script for each TVD episode?

"Lucky for me, learning the script doesn't take long at all! I seem to have been blessed with some kind of photographic memory which comes in handy with my job. The part that really takes some time is breaking down the script so that I feel connected to Damon's instincts, words, actions, and body language. I'll spend hours on end working with my phenomenal acting coach, Ivana Chubbuck, going through the script and familiarizing myself with all the nuances woven into each of Damon's relationships and all the subtext that floats underneath the lines."

Your fans would love to see you in a movie, do you think they will get this chance soon?

"Let's hope so! I feel tremendously grateful every day to breathe life into the complexity that is Damon, but as an actor, I live for finding ample opportunities to push my own boundaries within my craft. Every film that I'm lucky enough to be a part of teaches me something along the way. As I explore the layers and connective tissue of each new character, I am diving deeper into my own subconscious and finding out more about myself. For that exploration alongside the incredible relationships and experiences that take place with filmmaking, I would be more than happy for my fans to see me in a movie super soon!"

Is there anyone on set that is known to play pranks? If so, what was the funniest?

"Oh, we all do! When you have a show that shoots every day and often throughout all hours of the night, you have to keep the spirit alive. Lucky for us, our cast and crew are really close and have mastered the art of humor, pranks and impeccable timing. Every day when I get to set, I'm waiting to see who has something in store. Don't get me wrong, we work diligently and care deeply about our work, but the pranks keep us on our toes! Recently I got in on a prank with our first AD Rudy which involved a nude scene...some double stick tape...and a pair of elephant ears...we'll leave it at that..."

During the summer break you do a lot of traveling to different countries going to conventions and meeting fans. Do you have a particular favorite place to visit?

"I can't say that I have an absolute favorite since each experience is so unique, but I can say that I love traveling and meeting all of the wonderful people who support the show. Without a doubt, I feel like a lucky guy having the opportunity to soak in the cultures and characteristics of all these different countries and to connect with the people that reinvigorate me every day with their love and encouragement. Every trip I take, I meet people I will never forget and bring home stories I will forever remember."

I know that outside of acting there is something that holds a special place in your heart and that you are very passionate about. Will you talk a bit about this?

"About a year ago, something really magical happened: the birth of the Ian Somerhalder Foundation. What started as my desperate need to see change in the world soon reached far beyond my voice as it multiplied across the globe. In no time at all, unified voices emerged to form ISF groups that reached out through social media to connect, empower and inspire other changemakers in their community. Now over 350 youth lead groups are orchestrating environmental initiatives and seeing their visions out to completion all over this beautiful planet. I'm so proud and honored to be part of the ISF family. The IS Foundation not only holds a special place in my heart, but truly gives me the hope every single day, that we--especially our youth--can be the change we want to see in restoring this incredible planet and protecting life in all forms."

ISF is always working on some pretty cool stuff. Are there any upcoming projects that you are particularly excited about being part of?

"There are always ongoing and upcoming projects blossoming within ISF, so I constantly have a reason to be excited! We recently hosted our first big ISF event in Atlanta ("Empoweresque") and I was finally able to see some of the beautiful faces that help make this foundation soar. Right now one of the projects we are focusing on is Earth Summit 2012, also known as Rio+20. We are collaborating with similar minded changemakers and groups to utilize social media as a tool to encourage World Leaders to attend this important UN conference. We are also taking youth volunteers for five important task forces: Green Economy, Objective's, Facilitation, Governance for Sustainability and Mobilize US. While ISF has worked on many projects in its first year, this is one of the biggest campaigns ISF has taken on so far. We're brimming with excitement and anticipation about the results of this mass collaboration! We also have something else up our sleeve for next year that we can't reveal quite yet but can guarantee will be one truly incredible weekend..."

What is one of your most memorable moments from 2011?

"Wow...so much took place in 2011. From filming The Vampire Diaries, to meeting and interacting with fans, to ISF's flourishing in its first year, and to meeting volunteers who care about the planet and its creatures the same way I do...it has left me in a pure state of awe. I also had the opportunity to bond and connect with some very memorable people that have made lasting impressions on me that circulate through my mind daily. In February, I was honored to receive an invitation to speak at Deepak Chopra's Sages & Scientists Symposium. By even sharing oxygen with these brilliant minds, I felt enriched spiritually and mentally. This enlightenment was really punctuated on my trip to Zimbabwe to visit, document and study under Allan Savory and his concepts of Holistic Management. I absorbed all I could from the remarkable people I met at the symposium and in Africa and carried that with me when I testified before Congress on behalf of the Multinational Species Coalition in the capital of the United States, Washington DC. Really when I look at 2011, I feel nothing but humbled by all of the inspiring voices I heard and incredible people I met."

How long have you been involved in conservation and why?
Honestly, ever since I can remember, actually.

What’s your inspiration for the work you do?
I grew up on the Gulf Coast, and my father’s family were these French Cajun people from the bayou and my mother’s family were these half-Irish, half-Choctaw Indian farmers. So on all sides, it was about an agrarian lifestyle. The Gulf Coast is a pretty insanely delicate ecosystem, so my father made sure I understood it. You never littered, you always turned lights off.

One thing that really kind of landed on me was when I was shooting Lost and living in Hawaii. I would always go camping and do excursions when I lived in L.A and so I leased this Range Rover. And I was thinking, gosh man, I want a Prius, but I can’t do anything. I mean, I need to be able to go into the desert and mountains. But I’m driving a vehicle that gets 16 miles to the gallon. It was disgusting. Driving around Los Angeles, you could literally see the gas gauge going down. I remember being out in Hawaii and driving to work one beautiful morning, and I realized that I had all these amazing aspirations for the climate and for the environment, but I was driving this gas-guzzling SUV. I called my business manager and said, “You know what? I gotta get rid of this thing.” And I did, when I came back to L.A

I realized that it’s all the small things. You know, we weren’t allowed to leave the water running when we brushed our teeth, which saves 602 million gallons of water a day. It’s things like this that are just crazy. Like turning off your lights. All these things. After the BP oil spill I realized that this is what needs to happen. That was it. That was the time.

You have more than a million Twitter followers and are very active on Twitter. In your opinion, what role does social media play in conservation?
My opinion of social media is, social media changed the world. Social media is the reason this foundation exists and why it’s successful and becoming more successful every day. Whoever invented Twitter, I just want to kiss them. It’s just unbelievable the amount of information that travels in a nanosecond. I owe this foundation to its supporters and social media, bottom line. Facebook and Twitter saved the world.

Why are you so driven to get youth involved in activism?
Because they are the future.

How do you reach them and make it important to them?
You know how you make it important, I think? You let them understand that this is their world. It’s a really interesting thing, if you think about it. How do you get a ten-year-old to think about conservation in any way, shape or form? A year ago, there was a six-year-old girl named Devon Haas who contacted ISF because she wanted to send her tooth fairy money to us because she wanted to change the world. It blew our mind. She said that she wanted to change the world, but she knew that she didn’t have a voice. And the executive director of ISF called me and said, “We have to give this girl a voice.” I literally was almost misty-eyed thinking about it. This girl is now seven-years-old, she has 5000 or 6000 followers on Twitter and she is in this documentary called Kids of the Gulf, about the kids in the Gulf that were affected, and how they were affected and, by virtue of the fact that they have no voice, they kind of were never heard. Having a voice is pointless if it’s not heard.

Kids are the future. The youth of the world are the most underrated, underappreciated and underestimated portion of the world. It’s their world, and you start telling them that these things are gonna disappear, and they get involved. They get angry. And what’s really cool about them is that they’re not conditioned by sociological filters. They’re just open. So their ideas are incredible. And what’s profound about their ideas is that they make a lot of sense.

I read the Huffington Post all the time. I read the The Nation all the time. The Economist. Foreign Affairs. Harper’s. Stuff that you read it, and your head wants to explode because there’s just so much information. It’s all so powerful, and most of it’s so negative, and you and I see the world through these filters. But these little guys — they are just open, and it’s the coolest thing in the world.
