“Really, I’m incredible disjointed and not candid. Just in general, my thoughts tend to come out in little spurts that don’t necessarily connect. If you hang around long enough, you can find the linear path. But it will take a second. That is why these interviews never go well for me.”

Billy Burke – “She doesn’t get cluttered up with all this stuff that goes on… and I admire that about her. She’s going to be around for a long time. I’m always impressed with her.”

Anna Kendrick – “She certainly hasn’t gone and changed on us… she’s the coolest chick you could ever hope to meet. She’s so down to earth, and such a pro.”

“I want to go to college. I’m going to take four years off. I don’t want to miss that. I want to be a writer. I think that’d be awesome.”

I do things implusively, I don’t really to plan things at all. If I am passionate about something than I will do it.”

“I’m really proud of Twilight. I think it’s a really good movie. It was hard to do, and I think it turned out pretty good. But I take much credit for it. So when you show up at these places, and there’s literally like a thousand girls and they’re all screaming your name, you’re like, why? You don’t feel like you deserve it.”

“You should have the opportunity to be more than one person with different people because you have that within you. It’s not like your faking it. If everyone knows you so well and can always get a hold of you, then you’re stuck to this thing that people think you are. You should have the opportunity to reinvent yourself. Because you do. Naturally.”

“I love it because I love to tell stories. I like being in movies that have a great story. I’m so not interested in being a hollywood star. It’s a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work.”

"At the beginning of the films there weren’t relationships at all, because we (me and Robert) didn’t know each other at all, but now it’s all different. We’ve shot all these film together and he’s become a good friend of mine. Taylor Lautner and Rob are incredibly important to me. They don’t get on my nerves. We’re always honest with each other without having to worry whether we’re hurting each other’s feelings.”

“As soon as I stopped trying to control everything that came out of my mouth, and every picture that came out, I felt happier.”

“I would never cheapen my relationships by talking about them.”

“I don’t go to school, so I’m not really exposed to people my age. I work with all adults on movie sets. Being young is frusterating. It drives me kind of insane. I feel so restricted. I can’t wait to get to the stage where I can wake up in the morning and just do what I want.”

“The day I did the graduation scene of Eclipse, I had just finished high school myself the week before. Acting was the first thing I ever thrive at. But they support anything I want to do.

“I was just in Botswana in Africa. I wanted to learn something about the world. I just feel really ignorant whenever I leave the country. I don’t know a lot of stuff, and I really want to. I figure that traveling is a good way to start if you want knowledge. Like, if you don’t know something about a country, then go and check it out. That’s what I did.”

“I do want to work on writing, because writing’s a skill. Writing is something that you can train yourself to know better. To know yourself better. And it’s intimidating as hell. I mean, I will definitely always do what I’ve been doing. I’ve also started taking a lot of pictures, and they help the writing. I mean, I want to make books. I want to take pictures and then write all over the pictures. And then I don’t have to say a complete story, because I have the picture, and I have just a word.”

“There’s nothing you can do about it, to be honest. I don’t leave my hotel room… literally, I don’t. I don’t talk to anybody about my personal life, and maybe that perpetuates it, too. But it’s really important to own what you own and keep it to yourself. That said, the only way for me not to have somebody know where I went the night before is if I didn’t go out at all. I’m trading.It depends on what mood I’m in. Some nights, I think, ‘You know what? I don’t care. I am going to do what I want to do.’ Then the next day I think, ‘Ugh. Now everyone thinks I’m going out to get attention.’ And I’m like, ‘No, actually, for a second, thought that maybe I could be like a normal person.’”

“I absolutely have no foresight. I used to think I had a lot when I was younger. I work really hard in school to give myself options, and I’ve literally taken those options and thrown them down the toliet. Purposely – not to make that sound negative. It’s what I want. I want to keep doing what I’m doing. It’s funny, people ask me all the time: ‘What do you do for fun? What do you do when your not acting?’ It’s a strange thing, acting. It’s business, it’s a job, everything like that. All it is, is self-reflection. You just never stop caring about people and I’ve never stopped doing that, so I’m sure it’ll seep into other areas of my life. I want to write. I’m not going to school because I can’t take the structure of it, but I’m not going to stop learning.”

“All I try to do in the press is be honest about something that I really care about.”

“Self-evaluation is not my strong point, and you’re constantly asked to critque yourself. You just spent three months on a set and your whole life is wrapped up in that and then it’s like, “Okay, define that right now in five seconds.” I can’t do that. I use to get so nervous that I would become a completely different person - and then they would think that was me. So I’ve tried to calm down, but no one’s ever going to write, “Oh, she’s actually just a pretty average chick who really loves what she does.” That’s not gonna happen.”

“My life hasn’t changed. Most circumstances I find myself in are different than they were a year ago, but I myself haven’t changed… however a normal 18-year-old girl would change in a year. But it makes things so much easier. I would do it for free every day even if nobody saw it. I cannot describe how good it feels to actually have something is truly into your heart and soul actually affecting people. And that’s amazing. So that’s the biggest change.”

“I think it shows that if you have a best friend, you help them no matter what happens. I think kids can relate to that."

“I start everything from the same place, with that sense of responsibility. On a bigger movie, you have to be aware that you can only control your aspect of the film. It’s nice to be on a smaller movie because you’re working with your friends and you feel so close-knit. It’s your movie and can do anything you want, and nobody’s going to have anything to say. With a bigger movie, it concerns so many people. It’s so much more of a process. But, in terms of what do personally, it has to be the same, or else I’m just on some big movie, being a liar, and I can’t do that.”



“Acting is such a personal thing, which is weird because at the same time it’s not. It’s for the consumption of other people. But in terms of creative outlets and expressing yourself, it’s just the most extreme version of that I’ve ever found. It’s like running, it’s exertion. When you reach that point where you can’t go anymore and you stop and you take a breath, it’s that same sort of clearing of the mind.”

“You have to live something when you film it. I know from the outside Twilight looks like a big commerical movie. But, it was more difficult to play Bella than a lot of other parts I’ve done. And, she still developing because I’m not finished yet. It’s more an exploration of a person’s journey.”

“I’ve never been so fantical about something. I have never had that thing that I’m obsessed with. But, I’ve follow things for years like bands and movies and actors. I completely get what they’re feeling. Personally, it’s just to cool for me to be able to go back and follow a character for so long in successive movies. The fact that fans love them gives me a chance.”

“It’s a little weird, but it’s all because of it… the focus for us is the focus that the fans have, which is the movies… this is what you work for. Not the attention, but the fact that you have a common interest.”
