Interview with Stephen Moyer

PLAYBOY: We’re about to see you in your third season of playing Bill Compton, the hot-blooded, brooding, reformed 174-year-old Southern vampire on True Blood. Having shared many of the show’s steamiest sex scenes with Anna Paquin, who plays Sookie Stackhouse, a vampire-loving telepathic waitress, what can you tell us about human-on-undead sex?
MOYER: Unlike werewolves, who are very hot, vampires are steely cold, so sex with the undead isn’t going to get hot and crispy. There’s no heartbeat, no adrenaline rush as you get close to the moment. But in terms of speed and timing, you may be able to have sex that lasts for days. Vampire sex is muscular and physical, so it could be tiring for a human guy to have sex with a female vampire. I often think a lot of women’s attraction to vampires is based on the fact that vampires come from centuries ago, from eras of chivalry and courtly virtues. So it’s about being treated like a lady but being physically overtaken in the sack.

What do vamps see in Sookie?

Anxious eyes and a hungry mouth often figure prominently in creepy movies, but you see less of the ear, except, of course, when it’s been separated from the head. The cinematic tradition of severed ears stretches across torture porn and zombies movies, but perhaps the most famous examples come from Reservoir Dogs and Blue Velvet. Comparing the violence in those movies, David Foster Wallace once wrote, “Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off. David Lynch is interested in the ear.”
How about Alan Ball? The executive producer of True Blood resolved the cliffhanger of the previous episode—Bill Compton surrounded by growling wolves.

Mariana Klaveno sinks her teeth into “True Blood”
By Dallas over at Loving True Blood in Dallas
LOS ANGELES (Back Stage) – The white-hot HBO series “True Blood” has exploded into the pop-culture arena over the past two years, fueling the international vampire obsession.
But unlike its “Twilight” counterpart, “True Blood” isn’t afraid to show the sizzlingly sexy and graphically violent, placing it at the decidedly grown-up end of the blood-sucking spectrum.
Since the beginning of the series, actor Mariana Klaveno has been in some of the grisliest and steamiest scenes of them all — as Lorena, the vampire who turned Bill Compton.

What did you think of the interview with Stephen? Do you think Sookie is boring? Why do you think the vampires like her so much? What do you think of Mariana Klaveno?

How about Alan Ball? The executive producer of True Blood resolved the cliffhanger of the previous episode—Bill Compton surrounded by growling wolves—with the matinee idol vampire flashing his barbaric side, viscerally gnawing on a hairy ear in his mouth. Round one of vampire versus werewolf ended in a knockout.
