Anna Paquin says she's never seen 'Twilight' movies

Anna Paquin, star of the adult-oriented HBO vampire series True Blood, says she's never watched the Twilight Saga films.

"I'm sure if I was a teenager, I'd probably love it," Paquin, 27, told Self magazine recently. "It's all about age-appropriate entertainment - the values and morals and the whole idea of chastity and all that. There's plenty of time for people to watch us sucking and screwing and doing all this nefarious stuff with each other on True Blood."
Paquin, who plays heroine Sookie Stackhouse in True Blood, added that kissing real-life fiance and series co-star Stephen Moyer was "Sharp. Dangerous. Those things are actually really expensive and quite fragile! They are not toys."

The fake blood they use in True Blood, she said, was disgusting.

"The actual blood makes me want to gag!" she said. "It's some kind of sweet corn syrup. They try to make it taste relatively good-flavored, but there's an aftertaste that's less than pleasant after the tenth take. In season one, they asked me if I wanted sugar or sugar-free. I was like, 'Sugar-free blood? Sounds great!' Big mistake. Because then it only tastes like the latex plastic tubes it's coming through."

The Twilight Saga features Kristen Stewart as the mortal Bella Swan and Robert Pattinson as her love, the vampire Edward Cullen. The third Twilight film, Eclipse, opens on June 30 and its Los Angeles premiere is set to take place on Thursday.
