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

None of the characters I`ve played are really like me. That would be boring. It wouldn`t be acting.

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

I get paid to do the thing I love most, and maybe that makes blending into the crowd impossible sometimes, but I wouldnt trade it for the world.

Stubborn people get themselves in a lot of trouble, but they also get things done.

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 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.
