“Mysterious” Anna Paquin Covers Zooey Magazine

Zooey Magazine features Anna Paquin as their May 2012 cover girl with an interview that tries to pull back the curtain on the very private actress. From the excerpt provided below, it’s difficult to tell if they succeeded.

For having been in the public eye for 20 years, we don’t really know a lot about you.
I don’t know about that. There isn’t a lot of unchartered territory that hasn’t been covered or reported on or noted or observed.

Do you consider yourself mysterious?
Mysterious?

Well, private.
Sure. Not in some weird recluse way. I think it’s important to have things that are just for you and people that are closest to you. Some people share absolutely everything, but then what do you have left that’s yours? It diminishes what’s really special in your life.

Did you feel like you had to sacrifice some of the privacy you treasure in order to make a compelling statement for your Give a Damn PSA?
Absolutely not. I think it’s a really minor biographical detail. If you’re going to talk about some cause in a way that’s meaningful, you should identify why it means something to you.

The rest of the interview is available in the print version of the magazine, available on newsstands now. Meanwhile, check out the video from Anna’s cover shoot below.
