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.'

I've been very much intrigued by and impressed with women. But I've never been intimidated. Even if I make a fool of myself, it's better to have tried.

When I'm at craft services, I make the best-tasting,10-layer meat and cheese sandwich with no bread.

This [Twilight] cast rocks! We get along so well together it's like a real family which is great to see.

I 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.

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

I've got a lot to learn, and I'm very blessed to work with such talented actors. I'm nowhere near my goal. It's all about applying yourself and taking time to work and train.
