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.

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.

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.

You find happiness where you find it.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

I work out like a maniac and I spray tan a lot. Genetics were kind, but I work very hard.
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Just because I do what I do doesn't mean I escaped adolescence, all the bumps and bruises that go along with it.

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.

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