Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

Sookie’s innocence is a big part of her character when we first meet her. Did you feel you were able to bring that to the role?

Well, Sookie was a hell of a lot more naive than I think I’d been in quite some time. A lot of times I end up being asked about, “Did XYZ experience in your childhood make you nervous. Were you worried? Were you scared?” Well, I didn’t know I was supposed to be. So no, I wasn’t. And that’s how Sookie is. She doesn’t quite know just how big what she’s getting herself into is. And so she proceeds with full force, Sookie energy. And I think that’s something that she and I have in common – completely different circumstances. If I’d known what I was getting myself into, would I have charged full-steam ahead? Who knows. I love where I am now.
