I love doing action movies, I love pushing myself to the limit.

Producers 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.

I 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!

By no means do I want to be a piece of meat for the rest of my career. It's funny when you get asked to do a talk show, and then they follow it up with requesting you take your shirt off.

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

With my feelings, I hold a lot in, because I didn't always have boundaries and people would take advantage of situations because I'm a nice guy.

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