STEPHEN QUOTES

"I veer medium to extra large. No, it’s very funny, they brought in a selection of socks to try on
and I don’t know whether they were doing it very sweetly, the costume department, like they brought
in an extra-small one so that you feel really good. But I wasn’t the extra small which was very gratifying for me”

"I said to my son not that long ago, 'What do you want to do when you're older?'
He said, 'I'm going to have to go away and think about it.' So off he went.
He came back and said, 'Daddy, I've decided that I want to be an actor.'"

"I like the fact that sex is shown in our show, I like the fact it is shown to be true.
We show lustful sex, we show loving sex, and then my character does the loving and lustful sex.
We're in a society where it's ok at 7 o'clock in the evening to see 200 terrorists gunned down by Jack Bauer [on 24],
but we can't see one female nipple unless it's on cable network and I think that's ridiculous."

PICTURE OF THE MOMENT

♥ BILL COMPTON ♥

Bill Compton is a vampire with whom Sookie falls in love, and is a main protagonist in the series.
Turned during the Civil War against his will, Bill shows a remarkable and unusual compassion for human life.
He is also outwardly expressive of his emotions and holds on to memories of his past human life;
behaviors that are unique amongst his vampire peers. Many times, Bill risks his life and standing in
vampire society to protect Sookie from the dangers their relationship has brought on.
Towards the end of the first season, he kills a vampire in order to save Sookie's life, and is forced by
the Vampire authorities to "turn" a teenage girl in order to replenish their ranks.

BILL'S VITALS

Age: 174
Hometown: Bon Temps. LA Resides in: Bon Temps, LA
Species: Vampire
Supernatural charm(s): glamour, tissue regeneration, super-human strength and speed,
healed Sookie with his blood, his voice- dark, cold and smooth,like spring water flowing over cool stones.
Personality type: gentle, mysterious, serious and possessive
Signature look: long chops, khakis, Henley shirts, or the infamous button up
Endearing trait(s): expressions, mouth quirks, his eyes, his voice, the way he says "Sookie"
Strength(s): Are you kidding? He's a vamp...and he's wonderful in the sack.
Vulnerabilitie(s): His heart for Sookie, sunlight, need for blood.

QUOTES

About Bill:
“He has this moral dilemma within him — he doesn’t want to be the vampire that he once was.
He wants to live with the humans as opposed to against them.”
— Making True Blood

“Bill is such a complex character and he’s so unlike any other vampire because he’s got morals.
He’s a very ethical man and he wants to be a decent undead being. I think that’s a fantastic thing,
and so, I didn’t feel like I needed to do research. I wanted to make him precise, still, slow
and different from how you would ordinarily perceive a vampire.”
- Magazine

From Bill:
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere."

"Vampires are always in some kind of trouble. I prefer to be in it with you."

"Aren't you afraid to be out here alone with a hungry vampire?"

"The Glorious Dead? A bunch of starving, freezing boys killing each other so the rich
people could stay rich. Madness."

"You are different. The beauty and the tragedy of it is you don't know how different you are."

"I'll always be able to feel you. I'll be able to find you fast.
If you're ever in trouble, that could come in quite handy."

"You think about whatever you think about. It's okay. You're safe with me."

"Are you gonna leave or am I gonna have to throw you out...through a window...that is closed?!"

"Sookie... I cannot and I will not lose you. For all the ways I have dismayed, aggrieved or failed you,
I swear I will atone. But I am not sorry. I refuse to apologize for what you have awakened in me.
You, you are my miracle, Sookie. For the first time in a hundred and forty years, I felt something
I thought had been lost to me forever... I love you."

POTENTIAL FUTURE TITLES

Wait, they dubbed it into german? Do you know by any chance how it's called in german?

According to IMDB So finster die Nacht

sanna_o75 · 10-07-2009, 08:14 AM

Thanks for the new thread. LOVE this title

Another one that you can add

Because everyone who meets him falls in love with him

Oh cool. But too bad, I just finished dl-ing the swedish one.

Sanna, good one.

sanna_o75 · 10-07-2009, 08:17 AM

You don't want to watch a dubbed version. Dubbing sucks

He has been on a few radio stations aswell. I hope someone links them

Pasadora · 10-07-2009, 08:19 AM

Oh, but that wouldn't make a difference. Either swedish where I don't understand a thing and get distracted by reading the subtitles or german where I at least understand what they're saying and can concentrate on the movie.

Okay.

added it sanna!

sanna_o75 · 10-07-2009, 08:22 AM

But the language wouldn't fit with the mouths

And I guess I'm too used to subtitles, since we have it all the time, that I don't see a problem with it, haha

I love the way he sits in this interview

BBC NEWS | Programmes | Breakfast | Vampires are coming to Britain

With his leg under him. Cute

I see often like that too.

Pasadora · 10-07-2009, 08:25 AM

We don't have that here at all, so that's why I'm used to dubbing.

he has his shoe on the sofa. Tzk tzk. He makes himself comfortable. Haha, gotta love that. And as long as they don't mind.

sanna_o75 · 10-07-2009, 08:30 AM

He sure seem relaxed, hehe

Pasadora · 10-07-2009, 09:03 AM

I'm loving all the interviews so far.

Is it just me or does Stephen promote the show the most?

sanna_o75 · 10-07-2009, 09:10 AM

Sure seems that way. Him and Anna does quite alot of promotion. But I think it's natural that it's him who does the promotion in UK since he's from there

Pasadora · 10-07-2009, 09:12 AM

Yeah okay, but doesn't change the fact that others could join him.

bluewhiteheart · 10-07-2009, 09:13 AM

Well Alex hasn't done any promotion of it here in Sweden when it started airing here!

sanna_o75 · 10-07-2009, 09:14 AM

That's true. Well, it hasn't been much hyped up here in Sweden, actually
