    Anna Paquin's quotes

  • “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.”
  • “I don't know what it is that I'm doing, but I'm really enjoying myself, ... And I'm free to do it as much as I want. Most people don't have careers until they're adults.
  • “These are unusually mature, complex characters. They do bad things for their own reasons, but that doesn't make them morally bad. In fact your heart breaks for these people.”
  • “You'd like Kafka, one of my predecessors.”
  • “I'd really like to get to do some fighting, some martial arts training, because I think that would be really fun... I do gymnastics and ballet, and I'm very, very into the physically acrobatic end of sport.”
