There is a bit of a once a soap actor always a soap actor thing, but I do think people still recognise talent. If youre good at something, then people have no choice but to accept it.

I would love to do a film in Africa.

I told everyone that actings for losers and I needed to get an education. But something kept telling me to give it one last chance. In the end, I lasted a month on the M.B.A. and then decided to quit, come back to L.A., and try again.

I think that Twilight is so big that nothing can affect it.

When you just arrive in L.A., you are in a great position, as you are fresh meat, and people will meet you and give you a chance.

I like to look glamorous sometimes, but its not the be all and end all. I can muck in as well.
