Anna Paquin has described what kind of mother she thinks she'll be.

The Oscar-winning actress is expecting twins with her True Blood co-star and husband Stephen Moyer.

And she told Redbook magazine: "I have a side that's very nesty and another that thinks, 'Let's lock up the house and go away for five months'."

Stephen and Anna's fellow True Blood cast member Sam Trammel also has twins, and told Us Weekly that he was delighted for the couple.

He said: "I'm so excited for them! We sent them a special gift. It's so interesting that True Blood has become, like, the 'twins' show."
