I love going out for any audition. I'm very professional, I study my stuff, I work on it, and even if I'm not right for the job, so what? I know I did my best.

My genetics are good, but they aren't crazy He-Man style.

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.

When I'm in love with a woman, seeing her in something cozy makes me not want to let go of her when I'm holding her.

To 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.

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.

'Twilight' is such an amazing project, and I think it opened up doors for all of us cast members.
