I think that in itself is kind of an amazing achievement to be able to say that your full-time career is in any creative arts, let alone a show that has kept people interested for coming on four seasons and hopefully more.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.
