I think, generally, most people can't maintain anything that's particularly strict for very long. I watch people trying and failing to do that a lot.

More quotes by Anna Paquin
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.
Anna Paquin
I was honestly never a huge school person.
Anna Paquin
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.
Anna Paquin
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.
Anna Paquin
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.
Anna Paquin
If I don't do laundry today, I'm gonna have to buy new clothes tomorrow.
Anna Paquin
It's great to have the freedom to enjoy your work and not feel like you're leaving your other life behind.
Anna Paquin
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
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
You find happiness where you find it.
Anna Paquin
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.
Anna Paquin
I work out like a maniac and I spray tan a lot. Genetics were kind, but I work very hard.
Anna Paquin
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.
Anna Paquin
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
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.
Anna Paquin
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
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.
Anna Paquin
I like shows or films or books that have messages but don't beat people over the head with them.
Anna Paquin
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
I'm so organised. I never screw up. I've done it maybe twice before. I check my calendar seven times a day.
