Sexier Than Twilight
"I think [True Blood] is over-the-top, it's sexy, it's wild, it's violent, it's all that," Skarsgard told The L.A. Times. "It's just a wild fantastic sexy way of telling stories about our struggles in everyday life."

"You don't get turned on," Skarsgard told FHM of filming nude scenes. "It's such a technical environment. They make it look sexy, but it's definitely not. You have a sound guy five inches away from you, a camera in your face. It's not a sensual moment."
