TEN Gossip

Can you believe we are in June issues already? Anna Paquin is the June 2011 cover girl for Health magazine. She never fails to impress me with how sexy she looks. But I guess I would too if I were on a show called True Blood. Here are the highlights from the interview:

On working and living with Stephen Moyer: “I miss him when he leaves. That’s nauseating, I know. My me-time requirements are quite small.”

On Sookie’s skimpy wardrobe: “If you’re going to be spending literally every single day of your working life wearing clothes that barely cover your body, you’re gonna be extra-diligent. … There’s just a little extra motivation of, ‘Hmmm, teeny white shorts and a bikini top? I think I will go to Pilates this morning.’”

Her favorite TV show: “I re-watch – and when I say the entire series, I literally mean the entire series of – The West Wing every year. I’m sort of secretly stalking Aaron Sorkin. I’m obsessed with his work. I think he’s a genius.”

How she handled being a child star: “I have a really, really, really normal family. And by normal I mean we’re all nuts on some level. I think you’ve gotta be a little nuts to pursue any kind of creative job. I was also a really good kid…I didn’t rebel in the traditional sense.”

Looking healthy vs. being healthy: “People in this town have a weird tendency to say, if someone’s lost weight, ‘Oh my God, you look amazing.’ And you’re like, ‘I just had my tonsils out and didn’t eat for three weeks,’…But it’s not healthy.”

The issue is on newsstands now.
