'True Blood' excites me. It scares me, but it excites me.

The highs, the lows, the peaks, the valleys, whatever, it's all going to go into the art, whether I'm singing or acting or whatever.

Everybody is supposed to be a part of their own community.

When you have a cast and crew of people who make it light hearted and crack jokes, and break treats, and understand that we are all in this together. That's a biggest plus that you can have.

Everybody's looking for love, and you want to love somebody and be loved in return.

When I was growing up, my mother would take me to plays and museums, and we'd talk about life. Those times helped shape who I became.

Sometimes I felt as a writer I was purging, and it almost hurt to purge to that level. Now it doesn't feel that way, maybe because I'm older. Maybe life has given me some punches, but it didn't knock me down.
