The hardest thing in the world to play is something close to myself.
The idea of a regular-looking guy who is the lead of something - whether it's a movie or a show - is something that I really hope I can grow towards.
In my experience, it tends to be a real reflection of someone's intelligence, confidence and sensitivity when they can just be real.
Every angle that I looked at was somebody who I admired and was better than me. So it made me very afraid.
I really feel like 'True Blood' is a big, giant slice of cake for the audience every week; it's offering people 60 minutes of sometimes thought-provoking entertainment. If you're gonna give an Emmy out, you should probably give it to the audience of 'True Blood.'
I've always felt like we're all human beings and we're all basically given the tools to make whatever choices we want to make. How we treat other people. How we treat ourselves. Just the whole philosophy of that and the philosophical logic of that is that we're all capable of great acts of evil, and we're all capable of great acts of good.
The Emmys seem like an entity unto themselves that have an agenda that sometimes corresponds to quality, sometimes doesn't.
