PERSONAL QUOTES
None of the characters I've played are really like me. That would be boring. It wouldn't be acting.
Everything about being a teenager and not feeling like you fit in is just magnified by being a mutant!
If I don't do laundry today, I'm gonna have to buy new clothes tomorrow.
There are very few films or plays or anything about really happy people with perfect lives. Everyone is usually screwed up in some way and that is usually where the work comes in - figuring out how to make it believable and make it real to present someone's problems that you don't necessarily actually know anything about. I mean it is not challenging to be happy all the time. I don't think I could do it!
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.
I'm not very political. I'm also not American and I don't get to vote so my feelings are not really relevant.
You'll live a full and happy life if your pursue things you think are important and live the life you want to live
80 SEX APPEAL
Paquin's star quality started to gain a higher quotient of sexiness about the time that she played a groupie in Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous and put her boyfriend into a coma with her mutant powers in X-Men. Having now added sexy outfits to her wardrobe, a tan to her very fair complexion and traded in her brown locks for blond hair for her True Blood duties, Anna Paquin has morphed into a genuine television sex symbol. Her recent nude Rolling Stone cover only confirms it. We'll admit that her on-screen telepathic powers and all the vampire sex on her show are pretty awesome too.
