Our lives are not just measured in years. They are measured in the lives we touch around us.

I've learned a lot about how people have to fight through their whole lives just to be themselves.

When you have love in a story, it gives you the freedom to really take the characters to very interesting places.

I don't think I'll ever get used to the pressures of fame. I have two-pointsomething million followers on Twitter, and if I say something, they all listen. It's crazy! I shouldn't be allowed that responsibility.

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

I base the roles I choose depending on the characters. That's just how I'm gonna run my career. So if it's a good role I'm gonna take it whether it be fantasy, or whether it be realistic or fiction, anything.

Acting is one thing, but actually trying to change the world and the way people think to make people's lives better? That's the stuff I'm most proud of.
