Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer
Anna Paquin has had a "really awesome last few months."
The 'True Blood' star - who has nine-month-old twins with her co-star and 43-year-old husband Stephen Moyer - admits she has no time to sleep but feels very lucky to be juggling motherhood with her busy career after signing up to star in the fourth instalment of the 'X-Men' franchise, due out later this year.
The 30-year-old actress told the June issue of Angeleno magazine: "Sleep's not a very big part of my life right now. But that's fine. It's kind of part of the deal.
"This is one of the jobs where you don't get to pick the timing, and when it rains, it pours.
"When there are interesting things happening and interesting people you want to work with, you kind of jump on it and figure out the details, which thankfully have all kind of fallen into place. And then I've had a really, really awesome last few months.
"I've been really blessed. I've never really been drawn to things because I wanted to be famous or huge or anything ...
"I feel like [choosing creatively interesting projects] guided my choices a lot and I've consequently been drawn to people who, in the best possible way, kind of kicked my ass, because I didn't want to be the weak link."
