*************************************************

The June issue of Modern Luxury Magazine features a fantastic photo shoot and interview with Anna Paquin. A number of topics are discussed, including Sookie’s growth, the influx of great female roles on television, Free Ride, and the rarity of a good night’s sleep after the arrival of her twins.

On True Blood:

True Blood followers will be comforted to know that things remain as harrowing as ever for Bon Temps’ leading temptress in the new season, which picks up from a cliffhanger that left Sookie and her onetime blood-sucking suitor Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) discovering her other vampire paramour, and possible true love Bill (hubby Moyer), transmogrifying into an evil-incarnate ubervampire. “Things left off in a pretty serious place in regards to where Eric and I leave Bill having just turned into this creature of the blood with these monster fangs—and who the hell knows what that is?” she poses, chuckling. “So obviously, that situation has to [play] out. And we have new cast members this year, and that’s always fun to have fresh blood, if you’ll pardon the pun.”

“This season, the writers and I have been making a concerted effort to help Sookie grow up, become a little bit darker, more accepting of her fate, more self-knowing,” says newly minted True Blood showrunner Bryan Buckner, further revealing that the character will explore her attraction to vampires head on in a soul-searching journey made exponentially more compelling through Paquin’s subtly nuanced performance. “She is able to tell us so much with her eyes… I don’t think there are very many actors out there who could pull off what we’re asking of her this season… Her performances literally hold [True Blood] together as a show.”

On Free Ride:

All this comes on the heels of not only two brand-new babies, but also a more figurative offspring with Moyer: The couple teamed up to produce the indie flick Free Ride, starring Paquin, at a breakneck pace. The plot involves a single mom’s tangle with the 1970s marijuana trade while raising her daughters. “We just thought it was a fascinating piece of material and a really exciting new talent to work with [writer-director Shana Betz]… we kind of muscled on through and got it done,” explains Paquin of the push to kick-start the production. “Small indie films that are labors of love are not easy, but absolutely worth it on every level once you’ve got the final oduct.”

With Free Ride completed and being shopped to distributors, Paquin, the youngest of three children, is experiencing the kind of remarkably fertile period she’d dreamed of when she committed to the life of an actor, around age 15. Though she was also interested in fashion design and photography, and was becoming an accomplished cellist, her focus in combination with the timing of her parents’ divorce prompted Paquin to relocate to L.A. from her native New Zealand. Another turning point came when she abandoned college for theater, which ultimately convinced her she was on the right path.
