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.

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.

It's great to have the freedom to enjoy your work and not feel like you're leaving your other life behind.

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.

Well, the years from 10 to 20, when your body, mind and everything is like changing every five minutes, can be pretty torturing. And most of the interesting characters, I think, are somewhat tortured or torturous. I'm 20 now, so I'm only just an adult.
