He kinda will be using Jenna. I’m playing that he’s a little bit attracted to her. I think he thinks she’s kinda cute, actually. But more than that, I think he’s enjoying the fact that whenever he’s around her, Alaric and everybody is kind of getting terrified. I think he finds Elena attractive, too. I mean, I know he does. Maybe that’s just me. I’m just kidding. But I think that he enjoys the results of his attractions almost more than the attraction himself. I think he derives something sexual from the terror he instills from just being around people. If he’s charming somebody, and somebody else is frightened, that’s a particular turn on for him. —The Vampire Diaries’ Daniel Gillies (Elijah) in an interview with EW
