I just do what feels right. I think the great thing about getting to do what I do is that you can try out being a different person without having to screw up your life to do it.
Everything about being a teenager and not feeling like you fit in is just magnified by being a mutant!
Acting is pretending to be someone else.
You find happiness where you find it.
I'm so organised. I never screw up. I've done it maybe twice before. I check my calendar seven times a day.
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.
Stubborn people get themselves in a lot of trouble, but they also get things done.
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.
You gain and lose different things in different mediums or different sectors of different mediums. There are liberties you get on tiny indie films in terms of not having to be designed toward a marketing demographic.
I'm Anna Paquin. I'm bisexual and I give a damn.
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.
There's nothing more exciting as an actor than getting to do something that you're not entirely sure that anyone would let you do, and getting to take a big jump in a completely different direction.
It's great to have the freedom to enjoy your work and not feel like you're leaving your other life behind.
If I don't do laundry today, I'm gonna have to buy new clothes tomorrow.
