To act, no matter how the character is, you have to love and have compassion for the character you're playing.
For me, the more talented the actor is that I'm working with, the easier my job is because the circumstances of a scene are easier to believe when the people around you are in the moment just as much as you are.
Talking about spirituality is like talking about new love - it always sounds kooky to those who aren't experiencing it.
To me, the most interesting part of 'True Blood' is that the entire crux of the show is based on identity and finding your true identity.
You can't judge a character that you're playing, because then you're fighting against doing what the character's doing.
