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.

The striking thing about the Precious Blood is the bond it establishes between love and suffering in our experience, a bond that has become so close that we have come to think of suffering accepted with joy as the most authentic sign of love with any depth at all.

Well, here's the thing with relationships on 'True Blood': Once they happen then you have to throw a monkey-wrench into them, because to have people be happy is not that exciting.

Like a lot of people, I love a bit of blood and gore.

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

There are some people who hate my guts. But that goes with the territory.

Loss doesn't feel redeemable. But for me one consoling aspect is the recognition that, in this at least, none of us is different from anyone else: We all lose loved ones; we all face our own death.

There's no substitute for guts.

The worst sorrows in life are not in its losses and misfortunes, but its fears.

Blood is one of the things that made fights cool. Like, you knew it had gotten serious. I understand why we don't do it anymore.
