I'm not one of those actors who gets physically fit for a role and then loses it all again.

I make about two movies a year outside the 'True Blood' schedule. I work on a great show six months a year, then outside that I get to satisfy whatever creative urges I have. It's a great position, especially for a single guy like me.

As my I guess, career's advancing, for lack of a better word, I'm becoming a lot more passionate for the jobs that I do. So, it becomes easier when you like what you do.

Going out there and promoting myself socially doesn't really intrigue me. I'd much rather have my work do it for me.

I really do feel like Los Angeles is my home now and, as cliche as this sounds, I felt like I found myself here and I really know who I am now. There was a long period like I was drifting or floating through life, and now I feel like I have a definitive target - and future.

I have very high standards for myself and my career.

Sleep has never been a priority in my life.
