It's easier to promote things, if you have fans.

I love acting, so it's easy when you have a passion for it. I've always found the harder you work, the luckier you get.

I've been acting for a long time now, but as narcissistic as this sounds - and I don't mean it to sound - every time I see my name up there, there is real sense of pride.

Im not a big fan of the gym, I do lots of outdoor aerobics - yoga, swimming, running - but I kinda hate talking about it. We have a term in Australia, it makes you sound like a wanker.

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

I like to have a hectic schedule.

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.
