I was honestly never a huge school person.

I'm so organised. I never screw up. I've done it maybe twice before. I check my calendar seven times a day.

I'm drawn to doing interesting stuff at work. And some of the time with the supernatural, you get to do really crazy, fun things. But I'm not a big genre-fantasy gal, particularly.

I was never overexposed and work never became a chore. I was a very good girl wanting to do a good job.

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

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.

None of the characters I've played are really like me. That would be boring. That wouldn't be acting.

While I have always, felt like an outsider, it's because of the professional choices I have made, so it's not like I am planning to throw myself a giant pity party.

I really liked the idea of focusing on one thing for, hopefully, a long time to come. I also like the idea of a consistent lifestyle, as opposed to not really knowing where on the planet you're going to be at any given moment.

Frankly, no one had ever asked me before. My sexuality is something I'm completely comfortable with and open about.

If I don't do laundry today, I'm gonna have to buy new clothes tomorrow.

When it's a love scene with someone you actually love, there's no feeling like, 'Can I touch him here? Can I touch him there?' You know what your boundaries are - or what they aren't, I suppose.

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.
