"I don't know when acting came to be more about awards than about the work. Judging who's better than the other person shouldn't be part of why we're doing this job. It should be about entertaining people"

In this quote, starlet Anna Paquin reveals her aggravation with the current state of the acting industry. She thinks that the focus has actually shifted from the real work and craft of acting to winning awards and completing versus others. Paquin argues that this must not be the driving force behind why stars do their job. Instead, she thinks that the primary purpose of acting should be to entertain individuals. This quote highlights the pressure and emphasis placed on awards and recognition in the show business, and works as a suggestion to prioritize the true function of acting-- to bring happiness and entertainment to audiences.
