True Blood' was the most amazing adventure of my life; I met some of my best friends.

I'm always going with my visceral reaction when I read a script. I am more drawn to characters who are conflicted, and in developing a character exploration. If it's a baddie, I'm rarely intrigued, and if it's a goody two-shoes - too much of a good guy - I'm not, either.

I don't like those artificial air fresheners. They just smell so fake. It's too much.

I've always freelanced as an actor, and you always have to worry about the next paycheck. When I booked 'True Blood,' I promised myself I would take advantage of the fact that for the first time in my career, I could afford to turn down big money to go and do small, character-driven indies.

Smart vacations lead to greater happiness and energy at work and, therefore, greater productivity, intelligence, and resilience.

Remember that happiness is as contagious as gloom. It should be the first duty of those who are happy to let others know of their gladness.

I think happiness is a combination of pleasure, engagement and meaningfulness.

I'm an inherently happy person. It comes from the inside, which means you can achieve happiness under any circumstance.
