"The naked aspect is part and parcel of the show. And honestly, when I'm doing a sex scene, all I think about is the food I'm going to eat after the scene is finished.'True Blood's love scenes did put Stephen in an interesting position, though. He's now engaged to his 'True Blood' co-star, Anna Paquin, but did it occur to him that Anna's mother (who I'm guessing watches the show) had seen, um, a lot of him before they even met?
"Everybody has to starve themselves so if they put the sex scene after lunch, it's a f***ing nightmare. Believe me, there's nothing exciting about doing those scenes."
"Was it weird that Anna's mum had obviously seen a lot of me before we met? Well, I don't know. I didn't ask Mary that.
"But you need to realize that she's a very spunky, very modern, evolved woman. She's very aware of what it is that we do and what it is that Anna does. Remember, she was with Anna was she was 14 or 15 and doing all those provocative movies like 'Hurly Burly' and '25th Hour'."
