True Blood’s Anna Paquin will be on Chelsea Lately tonight, July 21.
Time Magazine conducted the interview:
~M.
TIME – At the age of 11, she became the second-youngest person to win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress after her breakout role in the 1993 film The Piano. Following that early success, Paquin played several small roles in movies like She’s All That, Hurlyburly and A Walk on the Moon before joining the cast of X-Men in 2000. After two more X-Men films, she switched to the small-screen in HBO’s hit vampire show True Blood. Paquin reprised her role as waitress Sookie Stackhouse in the show’s third season, which premiered on June 13. Submit your questions for Anna Paquin below, then read the interview in an upcoming issue of TIME magazine.
SELF MAGAZINE (July 2010) – Is all the tabloid attention you¹re getting affecting you?
I¹m newly initiated into the followed-by-paparazzi crowd, and I¹ve had to stop caring what people I don¹t know and will never meet think about me. If I did, I¹d never leave my house! It¹s like, OK, I¹m sorry that at 6 a.m.
when I walk my dog, I don¹t look ready to hit the red carpet. That¹s me! I don¹t always dry my hair if I¹m not going out. Ooh. And, yes, I wear a helmet when I ride my bike. Seriously, I was made fun of for wearing a bicycle helmet. I was like, OK, that would be a really stupid reason to die.
At that point, I was done.
You kept your relationship a secret for the first 10 months. Why?
We had a job to doyou don¹t want to bring personal stuff to work. I¹m of the opinion that if it¹s nobody¹s problem, it¹s nobody¹s business. But who knows who knew what and when? Clearly, Alan Ball, the show¹s creator, cast us because we had chemistry!
Was there a part of you that worried it would get complicated?
Obviously, there¹s no guarantee that it won¹t be complicated, but it¹s not like we went into it completely blind. Ultimately, you have to do what¹s right for you. You can¹t choose who you fall in love with, as inconvenient as that may be. Being in a relationship with someone who is also in the public eye and on the same showthat interests people. There¹s almost an obsession now with ³celebrity couplings.² It¹s a luxury to get to go to work with the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, because I love my job and I¹m really happy.
The tabloids made it sound as if your coming out was a huge surprise to everyone.
Not to anyone who knows me! I¹m a very private person, but everyone who is in my life who matters to me always knows what¹s going on. I understand why it¹s a big deal to some people, but to me, it¹s not. I¹ve probably always known I was bisexual. I¹m really lucky; I grew up in an open-minded, supportive family, so my sexuality was never stigmatized or scary or out of bounds. I¹m comfortable with who I am, and it¹s not an issue.
What¹s your diet like?
I¹m really careful about what I eat. It¹s not like this [body] is an accident. It¹s the what-you-would-eat-if you- were-being-photographed-in-a-bikini-tomorrow diet. I don¹t want to be one of those actresses who says, ³I eat cheeseburgers all the time.² I don¹t! I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. I never eat fast food. I¹m getting better at taking care of myself without depriving myself, though. Dessert once a week won¹t kill me.
Do you feel more sure of yourself as a result of playing Sookie?
Yeah. If I had let the oh-God-my-body-is-going-to-be-on-display-all-the-time part of it mess with my head, it would¹ve killed True Blood¹s chance of being something that made me really happy. Oddly, I find the nude scenes to be a lot less stressful than just constantly being very skimpily clad. I¹m quite comfortable with being naked, but spending 18 hours a day wearing little tank tops that could fit a 2-year-old and shorts that barely cover my bum? For me, that was an adjustment. That said, I never think about it now.
When you and Stephen started dating, you tried to keep your relationship a secret for the first 10 months. Why?
We had a job to doyou don¹t want to bring personal stuff to work. I¹m of the opinion that if it¹s nobody¹s problem, it¹s nobody¹s business. But who knows who knew what and when? Clearly, Alan Ball, the show¹s creator, cast us because we had chemistry!
What is it like kissing a vampire?
Sharp. Dangerous.
So the fangs never go home with you?
Those things are actually really expensive and quite fragile! They are not toys.
Why is America so obsessed with vampires?
I¹m going to go with: They¹re sexy, dangerous and good-looking, and they generally seem to be having more fun.
Have you ever seen Twilight ?
I¹ve never seen any of the movies, so I have very few thoughts about them.
But I¹m sure if I were a teenager, I¹d love it! It¹s all about age-appropriate entertainment. Chastity is appropriate for younger crowds.
As a kid, you don¹t need to see us on True Blood sucking and screwing all the time.
Speaking of sucking, you¹ve had to drink vampire blood quite a few times on the show. Do you enjoy those messy scenes?
I get a kick out of it, but the actual blood makes me want to gag! It¹s some kind of sweet corn syrup, I think, with an aftertaste that¹s less than pleasant after the 10th take. In season one, they asked me if I wanted sugar or sugar-free. I was, like, ³Sugar-free blood? Sounds great!² Big mistake.
Because then it only tastes like the latex tubes it¹s coming through.
So you asked for the sweet stuff?
By the next scene! I was feeding ravenously from Bill¹s arm, so I drank probably a gallon. Never again.
Sookie¹s blonde and tan. Big change for you?
Naturally I¹m almost transparent! Spray tanning, with the right person doing it, is amazing. All the color, none of the cancer! And my experience has beenas annoying as it soundsit¹s true that people stare at blonde girls more than quasi-famous brunettes.
For more of the interview pick up July’s SelF Magazine.
Yesterday we posted a video titled, Eric Northman So Far which aired Sunday during the True Blood Preshow.
HBO has now released similar videos for the rest of the cast.
Enjoy! Kelly
