Stubborn people get themselves in a lot of trouble, but they also get things done.
Anna Paquin
Image
I'd really like to get to do some fighting, some martial arts training, because I think that would be really fun I do gymnastics and ballet, and I'm very, very into the physically acrobatic end of sport.
Anna Paquin
Image
I've never really been one of those girls who's scared of showing a bit of flesh.
Anna Paquin
Image
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.

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

Image
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.

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
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
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 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 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
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
Image
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
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.

I still don't really think about acting that much. I just do it.
Anna Paquin
Image
Acting is pretending to be someone else.
Anna Paquin
Image
None of the characters I`ve played are really like me. That would be boring. It wouldn`t be acting.
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.

If I don't do laundry today, I'm gonna have to buy new clothes tomorrow.
