Anna Paquin is featured as Fun Fearless Female in this month’s issue of Cosmo.
Hometown: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (Although she grew up in New Zealand)
Current gig: Starring as Sookie Stackhouse on HBO’s TRUE BLOOD
Age: 26
Romantic Status: Dating her costar Stephen Moyer
Most actresses begin their careers by struggling in small parts. Anna Paquin kicked hers off by winning an Oscar at age 11 for The Piano. Since then, she has appeared in films like Amistad and Almost Famous and as Rogue in the Xmen series. The uncensored actress most recently has sunk her teeth into one of the sexiest roles on television.
Cosmo: What do you say to people who think True Blood is too sexy?
Anna: Well, maybe they’re not having enough sex [laughs]. People don’t want to watch what they’re not having!
Cosmo: Why do you think we’re all so obsessed with vampires?
Anna: They’re usually portrayed as extraordinarily sexy. They’re forbidden and dangerous and exciting.
Cosmo: You’re a natural brunette. Are you treated differently as a blonde?
Anna: Yeah, they died my hair for the show. The blonds-getting-more-attention think is completely true. I don’t know why; it just is.
Cosmo: Is there anything you wish guys understood about women?
Anna: No, because then they’d be girls. It would take away half of what women talk about. What’s so endearing about boys is that they’re so different from us– we’re not all wired the same.
“Well, maybe they’re not having enough sex [laughs]. People don’t want to watch what they’re not having!”
LOL, she’s too funny, haha

“People don’t want to watch what they’re not having.”
Hmm…I’m not so sure about that. I think for some people, that’s the motivating factor! ;-)

I don’t agree with her either there, but it’s a fun thing to say, haha

It was not that funny or witty–maybe a little smug–this is a short interview and I am sorry that for the most part, she was not savvy enough to give better answers that might be memorable.
“. . .because then they’d be girls” . . . whaaaa? Is that a real answer–I guess so–a ‘boy’ would not say something so ridiculous.
If this exemplifies a ‘cosmo girl’, give me “Time” any day of the week.

cosmo isn’t known for in depth interviews. this is the same magazine that always has those trivial “are you sexy?”, “does your man think you’re sexy?”, “do you look like a man?” kind of articles. i have seen her give more sophisticated interviews, so maybe she played it low-brow for this audience. i don’t read cosmo either haha, but i love seeing any press she gets.

She’s being quoted or probably misquoted in a 4-5 question interview as cocoblossoms says by Cosmo. She will give Cosmo answers that are cute and sexy.
She looks great!

As always, Anna looks FANTASTIC! I’m with you “cocoablossoms”, I don’t read Cosmo either, but any photos and press for Anna… I’m happy.
[Reply]
Anna is smarter and more mature than this! What I love most about Anna are her career decisions. I love reading features and seeing she and Stephen out and about, but what happened to being more selective?
[Reply]
What do you mean?? What’s wrong with what she says here?? It’s just a fun article. Nothing deep
She’s not allowed to be silly and funny from time to time?? LOL

word up. it’s not “inside the actors studio”. it’s a fluff piece from a fluff publication. it’s probably nice for her to have lighter toned interviews. i would think she’s tired of talking about her career and life so seriously all the time.
