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

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

My sexuality is something I'm completely comfortable with and open about. There's a lot of prejudice toward us but the more people talk about it, the less of a big deal it will be. And that will be better for everyone.

I'd really like to get to do some fighting, some martial arts training, because I think that would be really fun I do gymnastics and ballet, and I'm very, very into the physically acrobatic end of sport.

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

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