Paquin acknowledges that it hasn’t been easy to require a cane to walk and experience some speech difficulties. However, she expresses gratitude for being able to continue pursuing her career in the film industry.

While recovering from her illness, Paquin emphasizes the importance of having her husband’s support. Moyer directed her in an indie drama and played a significant role in A Bit of Light. She admires his talent as a director and values their collaboration on set.

In A Bit of Light, Paquin portrays Ella, an alcoholic mother struggling with personal challenges.
