From IGN:

True Blood returns this Sunday, June 14th, for its much anticipated second season. New monsters! New mayhem! New nudity! If you’re a fan of vampires, but don’t want to see high school kids staring longingly at each other before taking vows of chastity, then we highly recommend that you tune in for this adult-oriented “bawd”ville horror-fest.

What’s in store for Sookie Stackhouse this season? More vampire-lovin’ that’s for sure. But we thought we’d ask her ourselves. That’s right; IGN had a chance to speak one-on-one with the Bon Temps telepath herself, Anna Paquin.

IGN TV: I actually had a chance to see a few episodes of the new season and I have to say; I liked it even better than Season 1.
Anna Paquin: Why thank you!

IGN: Were you aware of the Charlaine Harris book series before you got the role as Sookie?

Paquin: No. I read it when I was auditioning because I wanted to know as much as I could know and have as much of an advantage as possible. Any insights, you know. Because all we got was the pilot script when all of us were auditioning for the roles. But then I read further on. So I’ve read about three of them. But there are so many and she keeps writing more and more. I can’t keep up.

IGN: Yeah, I think her ninth book just came out.

Paquin: I know, right.

IGN: Speaking to that. Since there are nine books now, there’s plenty of source material for your series to go on for years and years. Is this show something you could see yourself doing for a long time?

Paquin: I would do this job as long as people still want to watch it. I mean, I love it.
