This is the article-interview inside Mindfood Magazine. It seems part of the interview is taken from another interview Anna Paquin did for Hamptons Magazine but I can see some new things in this one that make it worth a look.
She says, about falling in love with Stephen, “Steve and I had a certain instant connection, we read Bill and Sookie opposite each other for the very reason that there needed to be a strong connection between the two actors playing those characters. Then that’s the person you’re working with all the time. It doesn’t hurt when the relationship on screen, which you’re trying to create, is one of attraction and fascination. Somewhere the line gets a little blurred.”
She says that is not leaving her roots too far behind and takes her New Zealand accent with her. She finds it comes out more intensely with her British fiancé than with her American pals. “My accent is a hybrid of things. Recently, I spoke to my mother on the phone [in New Zealand] and I can hear how strong my New Zealand accent is now. If I hang out with Brits and Aussies, that triggers my New Zealand accent. I don’t really know what I sound like anymore!”
Also Anna is a fan of Scrabble game. “The main reason I got on Facebook is so I could play Scrabble. I love Scrabble. Exercise doesn’t count as a hobby. That’s an activity or a chore depending on who you ask.”
She works with a stylist for her red-carpet choices and loves Narciso Rodriguez, Dolce & Gabbana and L’Wren Scott. “I love anyone who cuts for women’s bodies not boys’ bodies – designers who actually take curves into account. I absolutely love beautiful clothes and dressing up for red-carpet stuff,” she says. “The whole Cinderella thing: The dress, the shoes, the hair, the make-up and the jewelery.”
I’ve noticed how her accent comes out, it happend on the Graham Norton Show. It’s a shame she changed it to begin with. Anyway, I just love Anna.
That same thing happens to me when I talk to my mom. Hello Wisco! WTF is it with all the Scrabble players on FB? I guess I never just go there enough. At least she has steered clear of the dreaded Mafia Wars…I hope.
