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

Once 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.

It's weird that the world sees modeling as a negative. It just blows my mind how many people think that because I was a model, I think I'm pretty and that I can use my looks to get ahead. I'm not pretty!

The coolest part about seeing a girl wear something comfortable is the smile that you can just feel coming through from inside her.

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

It was really fun to bring that scene to life. I can't wait to see it at the premiere with the fans.

I 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.
