Anna Paquin, who is married to her True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer, says in the new issue of V magazine, out July 7, that people shouldn’t care that she is bisexual.

“Frankly no one had ever asked me before … There is a lot of prejudice against us but the more people talk about it, the less of a deal it will be. Who people choose to sleep with – or spend their lives with-shouldn’t matter, not that anyone particularly cares who I’m attracted to.”

- ” 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.”

- “On stage you don’t have anything to hide behind. I have never felt so naked.”

-”Sookie is always in distress, it wouldn’t be True Blood if someone wasn’t trying to kill her.”

-On sleeping with her husband on set: “Maybe it should be weird, simulating sex with your husband in front of people. But it’s really not. When it’s a love scene with someone you actually love it’s no ‘Can I touch him here, can I touch him there?’ You know what your boundaries are – or aren’t.”

- About her husbands fans: “There is probably something wrong with me, but I find it amusing to watch these men and women fawn all over him. It’s not like anyone is really trying to do anything inappropriate. They just want him to hug them… or bite them.”

There’s a new (and great) interview with Anna at NY Times:

I noticed that you seem to have squeezed all the New Zealand out of your accent, whether or not you’re on camera.
Absolutely. It switches in and out a bit, depending who I’m talking to. It gets a little boring when you’re going about your daily life and you end up having multiple conversations with random people, when you’re just trying to run errands. They’re like, “Oh, my God! Where are you from?” I’m like, “Can I just buy my milk and go home?” Sometimes if I’m feeling a little more antagonistic, I’ll give people a bit of a hard time. Like, “Where are you from?” I’ll be like, “Here.” “You don’t sound like it.”

You do have a sarcastic side.
I like to poke people. I do. But I like to hang out and play with people that will poke back. And our set has a lot of that. It’s a very, very loving environment, and the way most of us express our affection is by gentle-to-severe ribbing. It’s a bad sign if you’re not someone that anyone teases on set. It usually means that no one knows you that well.

She is featured in a video where she is asked about beauty and what makes her feel most beautiful and she says: “I feel most beautiful when I look at the way my husband looks at me. It really doesn’t get much better than that.”
