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.

I've never really been one of those girls who's scared of showing a bit of flesh.

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.

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.

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

I was honestly never a huge school person.

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.

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.

Acting is pretending to be someone else.

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.

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.

Image
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.

Stubborn people get themselves in a lot of trouble, but they also get things done.

It's great to have the freedom to enjoy your work and not feel like you're leaving your other life behind.
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.

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

Everything about being a teenager and not feeling like you fit in is just magnified by being a mutant!

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

I'm just living my life. I'm incredibly disciplined and I work incredibly hard. I show up for things on time, I do my homework, and I work my ass off. I've had a lot of luck, but I work really, really hard.
