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

You find happiness where you find it.

I don’t know what it is that I’m doing, but I’m really enjoying myself. And I’m free to do it as much as I want.

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.

Maybe it should be weird, simulating sex with your husband in front of people. But it's really not. When its a love scene with someone you actually love it's no 'Can I touch him here, can I touch him there' You know what your boundaries are, or aren't I suppose.

We do ritualistic animal sacrifice. We host orgies on our trampoline, every other Sunday. You didn't get our Twitter feed on that? I'm really sorry! And then, every once in awhile, we run through the city and drain people and drink their blood. It's really very romantic.

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.

Well, the years from 10 to 20, when your body, mind and everything is like changing every five minutes, can be pretty torturing. And most of the interesting characters, I think, are somewhat tortured or torturous. I'm 20 now, so I'm only just an adult.

I'm so organised. I never screw up. I've done it maybe twice before. I check my calendar seven times a day.
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.

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

I've never really been one of those girls who's scared of showing a bit of flesh.

I was honestly never a huge school person.

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.

Stubborn people get themselves in a lot of trouble, but they also get things done.

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

You gain and lose different things in different mediums or different sectors of different mediums. There are liberties you get on tiny indie films in terms of not having to be designed toward a marketing demographic.
