New Zealand actress Anna Paquin, 24, says she is not an especially political person, despite the content of her latest film.
Paquin, who lives in New York, says she has never voted because she has never lived anywhere she is allowed to.
In Blue State, produced by herbrother Andrew, Paquin plays an American, who flees the country after the re-election of President George W Bush in 2004.
"I'm not American, I don't get to vote, so my feelings strong or otherwise are pretty irrelevant," she said.
Blue State is directed by Marshall Lewy, a friend of both Paquins since he attended Columbia University with Andrew.
Paquin said it was not surprising she acted in her brother's film.
She and her brother run a movie production company together.
Since her Oscar-winning performance in The Piano in 1993 aged only 11, Paquin has built an impressive list of roles, although she is best known for Rogue from the X-Men series.
Paquin recently wrapped a starring role in playwright Kenneth Lonergan's film Margaret and will also feature soon on American cable television in the film Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and an Alan Ball drama series True Blood.
