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.

Image
I still don't really think about acting that much. I just do it.
Anna Paquin
Image
I think it's an amazing quality to be able to roll with the punches and not be totally ruined as a person because life's been rough for you. That's a really admirable way to go through your life.
Anna Paquin
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.

Acting is pretending to be someone else.

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.

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.

Image
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.

Image
I was honestly never a huge school person.
Anna Paquin
Image
One hate crime is committed approximately every hour of every day in this country.
Anna Paquin
Image
I was never overexposed and work never became a chore. I was a very good girl wanting to do a good job.
Anna Paquin
Image
I like shows or films or books that have messages but don't beat people over the head with them.
Anna Paquin
Image
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
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.
Anna Paquin
Image
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.
Anna Paquin
Image
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
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.
