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

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 any time you take on touchy subjects, you're going to offend some people, or you're going to please others.

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

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

I have a really, really, really normal family. And by normal I mean we're all nuts on some level. I think you've gotta be a little nuts to pursue any kind of creative job. I was also a really good kid. I know that sounds really dull, but I didn't rebel in the traditional sense.

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.
