I was honestly never a huge school person.

I work out like a maniac and I spray tan a lot. Genetics were kind, but I work very hard.

It's great to have the freedom to enjoy your work and not feel like you're leaving your other life behind.

You find happiness where you find it.

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
I still don't really think about acting that much. I just do it.

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.

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.

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.

I think any time you take on touchy subjects, you're going to offend some people, or you're going to please others.
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
The only thing I can definitely say is that you cease to be self-conscious after you've had to kiss somebody on-camera with 30 people watching.

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.
Anna Paquin
Image
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.
Anna Paquin
Image
I really liked the idea of focusing on one thing for, hopefully, a long time to come. I also like the idea of a consistent lifestyle, as opposed to not really knowing where on the planet you're going to be at any given moment.

There's nothing more exciting as an actor than getting to do something that you're not entirely sure that anyone would let you do, and getting to take a big jump in a completely different direction.

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.

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

Acting is pretending to be someone else.

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