True Blood Premiere, L.A., Sept. 4, 2008 True Blood Premiere Season 2 2009 | QUOTES ON BEING BILL COMPTON
- "Another thing I did, it’s kind of in the script, but I really wanted to make him different from everybody else, I wanted to make him sound different, and I wanted his manners to be different. I like that fact that he hasn’t got a heart, so he hasn’t got a heartbeat, and so he has no ticks. He has no extraneous movement. He has no need for little scratches on his face because that just wouldn’t happen to him. That stuff comes from having a heart, from pumping blood around. That’s not how he exists." daemonstv.com
- “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.” — MediaBlvd Magazine
