None of the characters I`ve played are really like me. That would be boring. It wouldn`t be acting.

There are very few films or plays or anything about really happy people with perfect lives.

Everything about being a teenager and not feeling like you fit in is just magnified by being a mutant!
Anna Paquin
Image
There are very few films or plays or anything about really happy people with perfect lives. Everyone is usually screwed up in some way and that is usually where the work comes in - figuring out how to make it believable and make it real to present someone.
Anna Paquin
Image
I think it's an amazing quality to be able to roll with the punches and not be totally ruined as a person because life's been rough for you. That's a really admirable way to go through your life.
Anna Paquin
Image
My sexuality is something I'm completely comfortable with and open about. There's a lot of prejudice toward us but the more people talk about it, the less of a big deal it will be. And that will be better for everyone.
Anna Paquin
Image
I just do what feels right. I think the great thing about getting to do what I do is that you can try out being a different person without having to screw up your life to do it.

Image
I don't know when acting came to be more about awards than about the work. Judging who's better than the other person shouldn't be part of why we're doing this job. It should be about entertaining people.

Image
I work out like a maniac and I spray tan a lot. Genetics were kind, but I work very hard.
Anna Paquin
Image
I think that in itself is kind of an amazing achievement to be able to say that your full-time career is in any creative arts, let alone a show that has kept people interested for coming on four seasons and hopefully more.

Image
I'd really like to get to do some fighting, some martial arts training, because I think that would be really fun I do gymnastics and ballet, and I'm very, very into the physically acrobatic end of sport.
Anna Paquin
Image
I have a really, really, really normal family. And by normal I mean we're all nuts on some level. I think you've gotta be a little nuts to pursue any kind of creative job. I was also a really good kid. I know that sounds really dull, but I didn't rebel in the traditional sense.

If I don't do laundry today, I'm gonna have to buy new clothes tomorrow.
Anna Paquin
Image
I'm just living my life. I'm incredibly disciplined and I work incredibly hard. I show up for things on time, I do my homework, and I work my ass off. I've had a lot of luck, but I work really, really hard.

Image
Just because I do what I do doesn't mean I escaped adolescence, all the bumps and bruises that go along with it.

Image
Acting is pretending to be someone else.
Anna Paquin
Image
I just like the idea of getting to be my own boss, in a sense. Getting to decide what I want to do. Though it's also really nice to have no responsibility whatsoever, outside of being an actor, and have everyone else be worried about all the details.

I get paid to do the thing I love most, and maybe that makes blending into the crowd impossible sometimes, but I wouldnt trade it for the world.

I'm Anna Paquin. I'm bisexual and I give a damn.

People are incredibly literal sometimes in how they view you. You have dark hair and pale skin? You must be brooding. The second you dye your hair blond and get a spray tan, people treat you as if you're a bit stupider and happier.

Maybe I'm misjudging people, but I feel like a lot of people still have an image of me in a bonnet at nine years old.
