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 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.

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

I was honestly never a huge school person.

Acting is pretending to be someone else.

I like shows or films or books that have messages but don't beat people over the head with them.
