I work out like a maniac and I spray tan a lot. Genetics were kind, but I work very hard.

Stubborn people get themselves in a lot of trouble, but they also get things done.

I'm Anna Paquin. I'm bisexual and I give a damn.

One hate crime is committed approximately every hour of every day in this country.

Everything about being a teenager and not feeling like you fit in is just magnified by being a mutant!

Maybe I'm misjudging people, but I feel like a lot of people still have an image of me in a bonnet at nine years old.

I just do what feels right. I think the great thing about getting to do what I do is that you can try out being a different person without having to screw up your life to do it.

If I don't do laundry today, I'm gonna have to buy new clothes tomorrow.

I think it's an amazing quality to be able to roll with the punches and not be totally ruined as a person because life's been rough for you. That's a really admirable way to go through your life.

I'm so organised. I never screw up. I've done it maybe twice before. I check my calendar seven times a day.

None of the characters I've played are really like me. That would be boring. It wouldn't be acting.

The time when you wish if death was possible from a heartbreak

I also understand that you have to lie to yourself to survive in a bad marriage, you have to delude yourself if you want to carry on in this life.

But, I don't want to assume that our tradition of excellence is a guarantee of future excellence.

When you're little and you don't have much dough, you have to innovate. You have to be sharp.

There was definitely a period when I just felt out of sync with earth.

The need of the hour is to think big. The more we focus on skill, scale & speed, it will increase India's growth trajectory.

For the most part, studio movies have huge budgets. They don't do anything under 30 to 40 million. When you have that much money at stake, you have so many people breathing down your neck.

It's like the riddle of the Sphinx... why are there so many great unmarried women, and no great unmarried men?

It is not the cause for which men took up arms that makes a victory more just or less, it is the order that is established when arms have been laid down.

Think about laughing and laugh about thinking.
