In 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.'

Actors strive to be part of something like 'Twilight' and what 'Twilight' is, is unbelievable.

I'd love to do a movie like 'The Machinist.' It's an extreme movie but it takes you to a place that is quite impressive.

I probably have more friends from 'Twilight' than I've ever had in my whole life.

Michio Kaku and Albert Einstein, they're both so ahead of our time. It's just fascinating to read about them, what their theories are on loopholes and everything else. It's fascinating stuff.

I lived in a tiny Midwest town, so I was always looking for adventure.

I did Hilary Duff's 'With Love' music video-slash-fragrance ad.
