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.

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.

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.

I don't think a naked body is particularly shocking or interesting ... It's not the culture I was raised in. I was not brought up in the United States. I don't share the [attitude] that you can have graphic violence, but - God forbid - you see someone's nipples.

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.

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 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.

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

One hate crime is committed approximately every hour of every day in this country.

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

Image
I'm drawn to doing interesting stuff at work. And some of the time with the supernatural, you get to do really crazy, fun things. But I'm not a big genre-fantasy gal, particularly.

I like shows or films or books that have messages but don't beat people over the head with them.

I think any time you take on touchy subjects, you're going to offend some people, or you're going to please others.

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.

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.
