Fortunately, now I've got myself in a position where things are about story and not money. In my earlier career, it was more about getting my foot in the door and to get enough money to live, to be perfectly honest.

I'm very rarely in the gym. My workouts are predominantly outside, in nature.

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.

Sleep has never been a priority in my life.

I'm glad acting sunk its teeth into me, because now I can't imagine doing anything else.

Money has never been a huge inspiration for me.

One of my favorite actors is Paul Newman. He could tell so much with a single look, whereas some actors would need an entire five page monologue to give off the feeling of what he could say with just a single look.
