From Variety:

Anna Paquin talked backstage about how hard she fought to win the role of Sookie Stackhouse in “True Blood.”

“I was the pale brunette from New Zealand, and I’m playing the Southern tanned blonde, essentially a Hooters waitress. It wasn’t the most obvious casting choice, but I just really wanted it and I didn’t stop until they said yes.”

How did winning a Globe compare to her Oscar win for “The Piano” at the age of 11?

“I don’t even remember that, it was very blurry and crazy,” she said. “This is quite blurry and crazy, too, but at least I’m old enough to drink and stay out past 10 p.m.”
