A lot of girls think they have flaws that really aren't flaws. I've never met a girl who was just so secure about everything.
Kellan Lutz[Nikola] Tesla is great! Tesla I actually deal with - I have this thing called the Cop Stopper that deals with Tesla's technology. It's like a Pokรฉmon ball and you push the button.
Kellan LutzLucky Justin Timberlake has Jessica Biel. I think she would just be the coolest girl to hang out with.
Kellan LutzI don't have TiVo, but I watch a lot of 'Judge Judy' - it makes me happy about my life when I see what the people on that show do.
Kellan LutzI just loved going fast. So I started out with Alka-Seltzer and soda water in a bottle and attached it to the skateboard. That didn't do much. I would try a leaf blower. I was searching for anything that would go fast. Then, the lawnmower engine.
Kellan LutzI was blessed, because I come from a family where they knock you down before you float away. I have a lot of brothers who just make sure we have our feet on the ground, and my mom is a rock star. She is an amazing mother.
Kellan LutzWhen you do a movie, it's like going on a journey. It's really like the director is the captain of the ship, and that energy, everybody feels.
Kellan LutzHopefully I get to come back [to Israel] next year. It's really great to see the encouragement [from] my friends, especially within the Hollywood circle, for me to be an ambassador [for Israel]. Because I'm in love with Israel, and I know everyone else will if they just take the opportunity.
Kellan LutzProducers and studios know what sells. It's nice to be one of the guys that can help sell a movie by taking his shirt off.
Kellan LutzI love mythology, grew up loving it. I'm a middle kid, big family, that's the thing you did in the farm country. I lived in Iowa, I loved mythology. I don't know, we're like that.
Kellan LutzI'd rather do manual labor than sit behind a desk. And as my grandparents got older, I'd fly out there and help out around the farm. We'd tear barns down; we'd build barns. I'd rather be outside rolling hay or driving the tractors.
Kellan LutzThe coolest part about seeing a girl wear something comfortable is the smile that you can just feel coming through from inside her.
Kellan LutzYou could do a hundred projects and still not have the fans that are there for Twilight.
Kellan LutzI want to be acting until the day I die. I want to be in movies and working with people who push me to be a better actor. That's what I look forward to, and that's what's important to me.
Kellan LutzI used to wear sweats and a T-shirt to auditions, but my agent would yell at me and tell me I had to look nice and presentable. So I had to drop that habit.
Kellan LutzI collect dice and I collect coins. I travel the world so I love dice, I always have dice on me. I collect magnets as well.
Kellan LutzI always wondered, you know I watch "Cops" all the time - why doesn't a drug dealer design a trap door under their car? 'Cause cops don't have cameras under the cars, they get you for throwing stuff out the window! If you got a trap door under your car, boom! You would run over it. It would be genius.
Kellan LutzIn L.A., I was meeting people who were all actors. My mind started to open up to what acting was. I didn't realize that Brad Pitt was a real person. I didn't think he was a robot or a machine, but I thought you were just born into acting - that it's a family tree, kind of like NASCAR. No one can just say, 'Hey, I'm going to be a NASCAR driver.'
Kellan LutzWhen I was doing 'Generation Kill' in Africa I worked with five really super-trained Navy SEALs who taught us all these moves like how to disarm people: if there's a bar fight and someone's got a chair or there's someone with a gun behind our head, how to disable them and take them down in a swift move.
Kellan Lutz"You're a sex icon." Why? Because I played a vampire in a movie? It's all very unearned. If I had the best freaking abs in the world or if I looked like Brad Pitt does in Fight Club, then cool, but I'm not starving myself.
Kellan LutzI'd love to be a mad scientist who plays around with chemistry, and solves all the world's problems and creates a few of them himself.
Kellan LutzEven in high school, I had friends that I didn't know were gay until years later. I'd find out on Facebook or something and be like, 'Oh, that explains some things,' or 'Wow, no wonder they were so cool.'
Kellan LutzI started out modeling at a young age and surrounded myself with different brilliant minds. I have so many people to get educated from, and I've been a sponge.
Kellan LutzTo be completely honest, I didn't know Twilight was a book. I thank God for Ashley Greene [who plays Alice Cullen]. She's like, 'Did you read the books?' And I'm like...'What books?' But they were easy reads so it was fine. Emmett's such an easy guy, so it was awesome to play him.
Kellan LutzI love competition.And I thrive on it. I love being able to win the room over before even walking through the door.
Kellan LutzI want to rob a bank so much - and I'm from the Midwest, so we have like one bank, no security cameras, and so I designed this thing.
Kellan LutzI was actually away in Africa doing 'Generation Kill' while everyone was auditioning for Twilight. They all had, like, five different auditions: I was so lucky that I came back from Africa just in time and the actor who was playing Emmett fell through, lucky for me!
Kellan LutzOnce I was in L.A., I realized anyone could act. Why not give it a shot? I started going to a ton of acting classes, and I found I had a real passion for it, probably the biggest passion I've ever had in my whole life.
Kellan LutzI have one funny story - because we knew we don't have fangs. But I remember I told Billy (Tangradi) "Dude, where's your fangs?", and he was flipping out because then he would have to run back to the hair and make-up trailer, they would be like "You don't have fangs." and then he'd run back and I'm like, "Dude, where's your fangs," It was great. A little easy.
Kellan LutzHonestly, Iโd prefer to live with gay guys. Theyโre the cleanest, and they just take care of stuff. Because Iโm always away, coming home to a clean house means a lot to me. Trust me, Iโve lived with a lot of roommates, and straight guys are just kids who donโt pick up after themselves.
Kellan LutzWhat I've learned from different designers is that it's key to be true to who you are and your vision. That's always been my line of thinking. Working through the whole design process, I don't want to create something I wouldn't be proud to wear.
Kellan LutzI always tried to make it a goal to relieve some of the stress my mother went through. I applied myself to school very diligently. I wanted to go out of state so I wouldn't have to depend on my mother.
Kellan LutzMy Cop Stopper was a Pokรฉmon ball that you push the button and then Tesla's coils go in and the chemical compound reactions go, so it's an electrical ball so once you throw it out the window usually, in my idea of robbing a bank, I'd go through an alley way, and what this Pokรฉmon ball would do, is it hits the metal of the cop car .
Kellan LutzA lot of girls in L.A. just stand in the corner wondering 'Who's gonna talk to me? Who am I gonna diss?' As for the girls in Arizona, it's just so different. They're like 'You have really cute dimples. You know that?' 'You have really nice eyes.' 'What's your name? Kellan? That's cool, that's unique.
