Anna Paquin Interview
By E.C. Gladstone
AP: I don’t really know a lot about her career as such, I mean, I know that she’s one of the few people that actually kind of made that transition from child actress to serious adult actor. But I don’t know really what kind of things she did and when, and I haven’t really looked at it.
EG: Do you feel like you are fairly careful about what you’re doing? Is there a path?
AP: I don’t really think about what I want to do and why I want to do it, you know, I just kind of do what feels right at this time.
EG: Is there anything you wouldn’t do?
AP: I don’t really have like rules, and I’m not really that conscious of the whole process of decision making. I just do what feels right.
EG: What actress’s career would you like to have?
AP: I don’t know. I could imagine it being pretty amazing having like Marilyn Monroe’s career, that would have been pretty amazing, to be that person, And then someone like Grace Kelly. Or anyone who got to dance with Fred Astaire. That kind of era. Any of those sort of glamorous movie stars from way back.
EG: And yet most of the roles you’ve taken are not really glamorous at all.
AP: There’s not really glamorous movies star roles…that’s not the type of films that people make. I’m just saying if I was to be someone entirely different, different world, different time, different place, different person. I just can’t imagine getting up and going to work every day, tap dancing and singing. I just think that would be amazing. I’d like that.
EG: Do you sing?
AP: Yeah
EG: Are you good?
AP: I can carry a tune.
EG: Do you do Karaoke?
AP: I’ve done it a couple of times.
EG: What kind of songs do you like to sing?
AP: Like cheesy pop music is kind of fun. That kind of thing.
EG: What made you want to act?
AP: Nothing, I went to an open call audition for The Piano. I didn’t really know what an audition was. And I didn’t know what being in movies was all about. I didn’t even know there was such a thing as acting. So, I can’t actually say that I knew I wanted to be an actress…
