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 was honestly never a huge school person.

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.

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

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

I was never overexposed and work never became a chore. I was a very good girl wanting to do a good job.

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.
