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
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 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 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
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.
Anna Paquin
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.

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

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
Image
Acting is pretending to be someone else.
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
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
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
The only thing I can definitely say is that you cease to be self-conscious after you've had to kiss somebody on-camera with 30 people watching.
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.
Anna Paquin
Image
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.

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

Image
I'm Anna Paquin. I'm bisexual and I give a damn.

Image
One hate crime is committed approximately every hour of every day in this country.

Image
I'm so organised. I never screw up. I've done it maybe twice before. I check my calendar seven times a day.

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