It's cool to play a vampire and be a part of this new, hot genre.

I've been on projects before where there's no rehearsal, and you walk in on set and that's literally the first time you've ever played the character, and then I've had times where there's been three weeks of rehearsal. I like both.

I still get a little nervous when talking to girls. Which is awful, and embarrassing, because I feel like I shouldn't.

When you get to play a character that's in love, it's cool. Once you have love as a motivator in a story, your character is free to do anything.

I think girls like vampires because they are mysterious and they really don't know what they are about. I think a lot of girls are attracted to that.

For me, in the third book, when Peeta gets brainwashed by the Capitol, that's going to be fun to play. The rest of the time he's very much into Katniss, and for that to get turned around and to play it the other way, that's going to be very exciting.

I believe people are genuinely good. I don’t like to see the bad in people, so because of that, I could see myself falling into a bad situation. But thankfully, I haven’t yet.
