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
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 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.
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
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
Acting is pretending to be someone else.
Anna Paquin
You find happiness where you find it.
Anna Paquin
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.
Anna Paquin
I was never overexposed and work never became a chore. I was a very good girl wanting to do a good job.
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
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.
Anna Paquin
I was honestly never a huge school person.
Anna Paquin
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.
Anna Paquin
Just because I do what I do doesn't mean I escaped adolescence, all the bumps and bruises that go along with it.
Anna Paquin
Stubborn people get themselves in a lot of trouble, but they also get things done.
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
None of the characters I`ve played are really like me. That would be boring. It wouldn`t be acting.
Anna Paquin
I like hiding somewhere, like, say on a bus street in a doorway, and taking pictures without people knowing - which sounds really creepy....You get some of the most interesting pictures because people are walking past not realising you're there.
Anna Paquin
There are very few films or plays or anything about really happy people with perfect lives.
Anna Paquin
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
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.
