Deborah Ann Woll quotes:

I always fancied someone might call me 'Red,' like Katherine Hepburn.

I was shy and a hard worker, so acting was a way to focus whatever nervous energy I was experiencing onto a goal.

Acting is somewhat mysteriously taught. There are so many different methods and systems and processes for teaching acting because it will always be an elusive art-form.

As a fair skinned blonde, I disappeared into the background. I've always been a loner, so I suppose dyeing my hair red was a way to say, 'I'm here, I exist, I'm a human being and you can't just push me aside.'

My skin is pretty low-maintenance, but I'm a big sunscreen wearer, which I think is the big thing when it comes to wrinkles, right?

Things that are unknown attract us.

I think it's fun to play with worlds that you can add a lot of your own imagination to. With 'True Blood,' you're not limited by anything, there are just leaps and bounds of the imagination you can take with these characters.

It's interesting to take a look at people who deal with prejudice on a daily basis - it's been a real eye opener for me.

I definitely like a little bit of darkness, a little edge. I get a little bored when things are maybe too simple or too... expected.

I think a lot of drama, nowadays, is character-based and development-based, but 'True Blood' is very plot-oriented.

I don't see myself going back to blonde outside of work though. I really like the red.

When someone new comes on and has their first nude scene - and even if it's not full nudity - it's always a weird, awkward setup. We have these famous merkins which are sort of toupees for your delicate areas to make it look like you're naked but cover you up a little bit. But we joke around a little bit with the newbies who are trying that stuff on for the first time.

I think it's fascinating that there's a whole holiday dedicated to things that we fear and that's so interesting about the nature of humanity.

It is said that our destiny is set, predetermined before conception. But I myself, have never been a believer...

I think what matures us is time, not necessarily our physical bodies. So I think she can probably change as much as human would in the timespan of the show. However, I do think as a human you reach a point where there's a certain amount of humility and acceptance of life and its consequences when you see your own body change and age, and the pounds come or the wrinkles come.

All of the secrets the vampires held dear have been exposed, and the humans can now fight back as equals in a way, which is scary.

I think we need that to ground us as human beings. I would imagine after an extended amount of time, a vampire might stall a little bit.

It is definitely a hard show [True Blood] to jump into the middle of, but luckily we have things like HBO Go now. It's not like you've missed it and now you're stuck. And I think once guys give it a shot - and you'll be able to speak to this better than I will - there's a lot of stuff that can be interesting to guys. There's a lot of action. Plenty of people are getting their heads chopped off.

I feel like you have to go looking for spoilers. I'm not on social media, so I will watch a show that was on ten years ago, and clearly I could find out every single piece of information about that show, but I'm not trying to spoil myself. You definitely participate in your own spoiling.

Even just pestering people with questions, and being nosey and pushy and getting her way, are things I think many young women grow up struggling with, to assert themselves.

I have a policy that I don't actually watch the work that I do. There are all kinds of reasons to do that, but one really interesting side effect that has come about from that is that I have no imagery of the show that isn't from first-person.

I think heroism comes in different packages. The superhero package is one that we're familiar with.
