"I've never seen any of the movies, so I have very few thoughts about them. But I'm sure if I were a teenager, I'd love it! Chastity is appropriate for younger crowds. As a kid, you don't need to see us on True Blood sucking and screwing all the time."On why America's obsessed with vampires: "I'm going to go with: They're sexy, dangerous and good-looking, and they generally seem to be having more fun."
"I grew up in an open-minded, supportive family, so my sexuality was never stigmatized or scary or out of bounds. I'm comfortable with who I am, and it's not an issue."On dating her costar: "Obviously, there's no guarantee that it won't be complicated, but it's not like we went into it completely blind. You can't choose who you fall in love with. It's a luxury to get to work with the person I want to spend the rest of my life with."On kissing a vampire: "Sharp. Dangerous."On drinking blood: "I get a kick out of it, but the actual blood makes me want to gag! It's some kind of sweet corn syrup, I think, with an aftertaste that's less than pleasant after the 10th take. In season one, they asked me if I wanted sugar or sugar-free. I was, like, ‘sugar-free blood? Sounds great!' Big mistake. Because then it only tastes like the latex tubes it's coming through."
