True Blood Interview With Stephen Moyer

at .

E! Online recently sat down with the leading man of True Blood, Stephen Moyer, to discuss the upcoming second season.  The following is a short excerpt from this entertaining read:

E! Online: Is True Blood going to stay as explicitly sexual this season or will you dial that back a bit?
Stephen Moyer: The show is ridiculously f--king sexy…I think Alan Ball and the writers do very well in pushing the envelope. I think one of the things that drives me nuts about society is that you can watch hours about terrorists but you can't look at a human nipple. What the f--k is that about? Sex is part of our lives. It's part of our existence. So I kind of embrace the fact that we hit it full on the head.

E! Online: What kind of arc can we expect for Bill and Sookie this season?
Moyer: I think that they love each other more than they have loved anything ever. Speaking from Bill's point of view, she's given him reason to live again

Sookie and Bill Look Intense

E! Online: From your perspective as an actor, how would you characterize Bill and Eric's relationship—are they friends, enemies, coworkers or what?
Moyer: Bill just knows that's how Eric is, and that he's not going to be changing him anytime soon. Certainly in this season there is a moral hierarchy. And you understand that in the vampire world there's a very strong sense of right and wrong. There are things you do and things you don't and if you do something within the vampire world that is f--ked up and against your fellow vamp, you are going to suffer for that. I kind of like that idea that, you know, anything goes, but if you cross a line, you're going to suffer for it. Whether Eric is adhering to those vampire morals is important.
