The fact that 'True Blood' affects people in this way is incredible to me - the fact we have to go to such great lengths to hide storylines just proves the cache our show has.

I like to have a hectic schedule.

I never want to be that guy at a dinner table saying, 'I wish I could have dessert.' I actually went through a stage when I would order dessert first.

I've been acting for a long time now, but as narcissistic as this sounds - and I don't mean it to sound - every time I see my name up there, there is real sense of pride.

I've always been relatively reserved with my social encounters.

I don't know if my sense of humor goes over Americans' heads.

Don't feel like you're alone because you're not.

Where is this Hollywood scene, where is it? I'd like to find it one day... If I want to go out and have a good time, I go to New York.

Change, change,--we all covet change.

Switchin' speeds like Bruce Lee ridin' up Fuji in a movie.

Rich don't work for money. They work for assets.

It's important just to be yourself. And probably stay out of trouble.

Three men at McAlester State Penitentiary had larger penises than Lamar Pye, but all were black and therefore, by Lamar's own figuring, hardly human at all.
