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.

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

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 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.

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

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