My goal all along has just been to work and support myself. I've been really lucky to walk away from the 'Twilight' series unscathed. Somebody asked me recently what it's like to be a star. I thought that was the strangest question. If you saw my day-to-day life, the word 'star' just doesn't apply.

You can't tell an audience to like a character. And I think the best way to get the audience on someone's side is to embarrass them.

I stole comic books from my brother when I was a kid, but I was never like an avid fan. I can't claim to be like a comic book geek.

I remember hearing once that good girls don't get caught. I think that's sort of a lot of what my teen years were like.

To not be self-conscious of your appearance is huge, and something that I desperately hope to carry into film at some point in my useless life - to not be thinking, My ear looks weird from this angle, why is the camera over there?

I'm constantly playing this game in my head where I'm thinking, 'Can this quote be pared down and misinterpreted?'
