I don't necessarily find superheroes in general, for me, that appealing. I'd much prefer to play, if I was to be cast in a superhero film, I'd prefer to play the villain because there's a reason, there's a motive behind their madness.

Sleep has never been a priority in my life.

The fact that 'True Blood' affects people in this way is incredible to me - the fact we have to go to such great lengths to hide storylines just proves the cache our show has.

Money has never been a huge inspiration for me.

My mum is about five foot with her hair done. Without it she's about four foot 10.

I have very high standards for myself and my career.

I pride myself on breaking any box that anyone wants to put me in.
