Quote

One of the surprises of being a grown-up is embracing the fact that you see your friends when you are both available. It's not like you hang out all the time.... It's just the reality.

I feel like I'm still learning a lot. I think there's a tendency for people who are just doing their first couple of films that I see now where they seem to be really resentful of the technical limitations that come along with filmmaking.

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 feel like I've got it together when things are going well with my family.

The most common thing that I get is, ‘Am I the only one who doesn’t think that Anna Kendrick is pretty? And youre like, ‘No, you’re not the only one. Arguably, all of the boys in my high school agree with you.’

My mom was always a fan of just really elegant, sophisticated pieces. I mean we grew up in Maine, so we didn't have a lot of call for black tie or anything, but I think I definitely got that sensibility from her.

I like to think of myself less like 'an adult' and more like a 'former fetus.'

I'm into 'The Walking Dead,' 'Shaun of the Dead,' obviously, and I've seen all the Romero movies. I am a classic zombie queen. And I love the White Walkers on 'Game of Thrones.' Weirdly, it wasn't until pretty late in life that I found my entry point into horror films.

An actor should always let humility outweigh ambition.

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.

I just got on Twitter because there was some MTV film blog that quoted me on something really innocuous that I supposedly said on Twitter before I was even on Twitter. So then I had to get on Twitter to say: 'This is me. I'm on Twitter. If there's somebody else saying that they're me on Twitter, they're not.'

If I die unexpectedly can everyone just do the right thing and pretend I was a way better person than I am?

There's always moments where you creep yourself out, and you think you heard something and you convince yourself that some spirit is in the room with you, but truly, I don't believe in any of that kind of thing. A lot of my friends really do.

I think a good script is a rare thing, and I think no matter who you are you have to fight for the good ones.

I'm the person who wouldn't send back my food even if I got steak when I'd ordered fish.

People like to make fun of the fans who camp out but people have renaissance fairs people do Civil War re-enactments people do what they like. I'm tired of hearing people rage on the fans. If you don't like Twilight, don't buy a ticket.

I think a gentleman is someone who holds the comfort of other people above their own. The instinct to do that is inside every good man, I believe. The rules about opening doors and buying dinner and all of that other 'gentleman' stuff is a chess game, especially these days.

I like sets that feel small. Sets that feel really big are difficult. When you're on a big set it feels like there's constant mis-communication.

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.

I rarely get recognised. It's always a shock when someone notices me. I always think they must be confusing me with someone else.

I happen to be a huge 'Lord of the Rings' fan. I do an annual marathon of the extended editions.
