I will do anything for Guillermo del Toro, if he asked me. I would give him my first-born child.

Im married to my job. Im obsessed with my work, and I run myself into the ground every single day. Unfortunately, a lot of other pursuits have to take a back seat.

The constant education is what keeps me interested. That's what absolutely fascinates me about this job. This week, I'm playing a faerie. Last year, I played a soldier. What am I going to be playing in six months? It's amazing! It's a wonderful job.

What True Blood does really well is that it balances on the line between good and evil - you blur the distinction between the two.

I would have liked to have worked with Carrie Preston. I think Carrie Preston is one of the most talented actresses I've ever met in my entire life.

There's a lot of egos with actors. We certainly don't like to be directed by other actors, or anything like that.

I had a really weird moment when I was doing ADR, and I was watching a sex scene that I was in. I had this really detached moment where I realized I was looking at my own behind in third person.

The headmistress was a very well-respected theater teacher. She taught me what stage left and stage right were, what a director was, and what all these things meant, which was something I had no concept of. She sent me off to drama school, at age 18, and I stayed there for three years. Before I knew it, I was working on a TV show.

Im massively scared of spiders. Even small ones scare the life out of me.

I'm a creature who bores, easily. I could never do one job, for the rest of my life.

Everybody wants to be in the next Marvel movie.

I've played a super soldier, a doctor, a World War II fighter pilot, a professional footballer, and a meth-dealing junkie. All those things allow you to educate yourself about different worlds that you have to get familiar with.

Im a massive science fiction and fantasy geek.
