More quotes by 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'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
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
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
I'm Anna Paquin. I'm bisexual and I give a damn.
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 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
Acting is pretending to be someone else.
Anna Paquin
None of the characters I`ve played are really like me. That would be boring. It wouldn`t be acting.
Anna Paquin
One hate crime is committed approximately every hour of every day in this country.
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
You gain and lose different things in different mediums or different sectors of different mediums. There are liberties you get on tiny indie films in terms of not having to be designed toward a marketing demographic.
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 was never overexposed and work never became a chore. I was a very good girl wanting to do a good job.
Anna Paquin
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
You find happiness where you find it.
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
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
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 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
