Matt Bomer and I went to Carnegie Mellon for drama together.

I was happier going back to my roots: training like men do in my hometown of Pittsburgh. Back home the guys in the gyms don't lift to look good; they're lifting to lift. They do it because they want to squat more and bench more.

What's funny is that male strippers don't wear thongs anymore. They wear flat backs.

When I'm training for 'True Blood,' I don't eat any sugar except for some fruit here and there. So it's no sugar, no bread, no real carbs all day.

I got to L.A. in 2000, when we were coming off the '90s: women looked like men and the men all looked like women.
