    ADD QUOTES
    • Michelle Forbes: (When she was asked how she decided to accept the role of Maryanne on "True Blood") When someone offers you an entrance where you are standing naked with a pig, you don't say no.
    • Michelle Forbes: I actually think we need to stop being so prudish about nudity and start being more European -- because it's just nudity.
    • Michelle Forbes: (when asked about Alan Ball, the producer of "True Blood") He's such a wonderful man to work for and I don't think I've ever run into anyone who is not a fan of his. And, after "Durham County" and "In Treatment", I really wanted to do something light and fun. And while "True Blood" is a very technically difficult show and there is a lot of depth to it, it's illegal how much fun we're having on the show. Which for me, was really important, to go and do something that was fun for a bloody change as supposed to being tortured all the time. Even though I was tortured on the show by having to face a few fears.
