People ask me what the appeal of 'True Blood' is and I think there are so many answers to that question, but I think that when there is so much excitement for what you do there is no way that that doesn't become palpable and comes shooting out like bullets.

I have a weak stomach. My wife is a doctor, so she finds it funny that I actually pass out when I get my blood drawn. I physically can't stand gore on screen. I can't stand blood and guts. Not for any puritanical/moral high-ground reason. I just don't want to black out.

Sometimes it's said that psychiatrists are doctors who are frightened by the sight of blood. I might have fallen into that category.

I tended to faint when I saw accident victims in the emergency ward, during surgery, or while drawing blood.

First off, I could never become a doctor. Blood? Even the fake blood on 'American Horror Story,' I'm kind of ready to hurl.

I cannot bear the responsibility for one drop of blood.

I've always suggested if you can't stand the sight of your own blood, don't run for office.

I'm growing very talented at watching blood and guts on screen because I have zero emotional response.

I wanted to be a doctor when I was little, so I'm okay with blood and guts.

I am a great believer in found families and I'm not a great believer in blood.
