Anna Paquin Nylon Magazine

 

Anna Paquin, 27, is in the latest issue of Nylon Magazine where she chats about her hit show True Blood, being blonde, sex and several other thengs.

Check out some highlights from her interview and pictures from her fun photo shoot.

On her new blonde hair color: “I don’t look like a Barbie doll, and probably never will. People are incredibly literal in how they view you. You have dark hair and pale skin? You must be brooding. The second you dye your hair blonde and get a spray tan, people treat you as if you’re a bit stupider and happier. Suddenly, it’s like you’re hot and sexy.”

On doing nude scenes in ‘True Blood’: “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.”

On taking her bra off during sex: “It’s like, I’m sorry, maybe there are a lot of women who keep their bras on while they have sex . . . I don’t happen to be one of them.”

On TV vs. movies: “It never occurred to me that one form of acting was better than another. I think if you approach your career like that you’re limiting yourself to a very boring path. For me, it’s about the material.”
