Paquin: 'True Blood', 'Twilight' very different

True Blood star Anna Paquin has dismissed the constant comparisons between the show and blockbuster film Twilight.

The actress, who plays Sookie Stackhouse in the HBO drama, told E! Online that the only similarity between the two projects is that they focus on the lives of vampires.

"They're completely different age groups that they're trying to appeal to," she explained.

"It wouldn't be appropriate for teenagers to be watching our show. I wouldn't have been allowed to."

Paquin went on to say that fans of True Blood can expect plenty more nudity in the upcoming season, adding: "The stories are exciting and sexy and scary and engaging.

"The characters are all very, very clearly drawn and real, even though we take place in a very sort of surreal world, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. And every time you think things are going to go smoothly, something really effed up happens."
