I'm not a prude. I'm from Sweden, and it's different there. If it makes sense, I'll do nudity, and it's made sense every single time I'm naked on the show. And I love to be naked. It's kind of liberating.

Eric is intrigued by Sookie. You know, he's been around for a thousand years, and he's over humanity in general, but there is something different about Sookie, and he wants to figure out what that is -- what she is. And while it's fun to play around with Bill, to tease him, it's not just a game anymore.

I think I have that kind of tendency. I just did this animated film, 'Metropia,' that's such a dark, dystopian sci-fi tale. And I have [Lars von Trier's sci-fi disaster flick] 'Melancholia' coming up. There's got to be something disturbing in the story for me to be interested -- it's probably something I need to talk to my shrink about! [Laughs]

Right now, I'm listening a lot to Beach House. But I'm more into punk rock, a lot of British punk rock -- the Buzzcocks, the Adverts, the Chameleons -- and Swedish punk rock. There's a band called Ebba Grön, a legendary Swedish punk band from the late '70s. I'm a huge fan. It's all in Swedish, so people won't understand a word, but it's pretty aggressive punk rock. It's frigging amazing. I love it. Of course, there are the Sounds and the Hives, but I think there are a bunch of really good up-and-coming artists like Fever Ray, the Knife, Mattias Alkberg and Miike Snow. Theresa Andersson lives in New Orleans, but she's from Sweden -- her self-titled record is a very good album. If you're not into punk rock, I recommend that. It's very mellow, very beautiful.

The reason I did the 'Paparazzi' video is that the director, Jonas Akerlund, is a fellow Swede and a good friend of mine, and he called and asked me to do it. At the time, I didn't know Lady Gaga's work or her music very well, so I looked her up, and I thought, "Oh, this is pretty interesting." But I didn't want to do something if we'd just be walking down the beach or holding hands or that sort of thing. And sure enough, when Jonas pitched it, he was like, "It won't be anything silly. You're going to try to kill her and push her off a balcony and then she'll come back and she'll poison you and you die." And I said, "That sounds cool, I'll do that!" I worked on it for six hours at least, six or seven hours, and I guess a lot of people saw it. The thing is, you can work on a movie for three months, and no one sees it, and then you do something like this for six hours, and that's what people talk about!

That's my new career. I'm just going to quit acting and do music videos from now on. I'm over 'True Blood.' I'm officially quitting right now! [Laughs]

Anything. I'll jump on anything. [Laughs] I'm just waiting for the phone to ring!
