Anna Paquin loves her « messed-up mixed with funny » True Blood lines.

The star plays Sookie Stackhouse in the critically acclaimed HBO TV series. Anna delivers some punchy lines in the show, and enjoys the scriptwriters’ offerings.

« I love my messed-up mixed with my funny, as much as the next gal. In real life, one of the things I always find is that, if you can laugh through a situation, even if it’s incredibly sad or really hard, it’s the way through, and our show uses that in a really great way, » she revealed in an interview with SciFi Now magazine.

« Also it’s just really fun for someone to write you in a way that makes you sound incredibly funny. »

Stephen Moyer – Anna’s husband and on-screen love interest – plays vampire Bill Compton. The actor’s lines are far less exciting.

« My character isn’t one of the ones who gets many of those lines because he’s more melancholic and introverted. But, I was very pleased in Episode 5, where Pam [Ravenscroft, a fictional vampire] comes on with a huge hat because she’s covering her screwed-up face, and Bill says, ‘Oh, good, the world needs more beekeepers,’ » he recalled.

« When you get those lines, you’re like, ‘Yes!’ We all get them, and we all look forward to hearing the other people read them in the table read. »
