When I was doing 'Generation Kill' in Africa I worked with five really super-trained Navy SEALs who taught us all these moves like how to disarm people: if there's a bar fight and someone's got a chair or there's someone with a gun behind our head, how to disable them and take them down in a swift move.

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

I am so fidgety - I swear I have ADD - and I always need to be doing something or being outside, just playing sports.

We all have our tastes and our type... [But] for me to say 'You're beautiful', I can only say that to my girlfriend. The word 'beautiful' has such a different caliber than any other word out there, like sexy, hot, cute.

As far as 'Twilight' goes, I'm in love with my character. I'm in love with the whole series. I love doing the fan conventions around the world, I love to travel. So wherever it fits in, I'd love to continue doing that for the rest of my life. Just meeting the fans who made everything possible from around the world.

[Nikola] Tesla is great! Tesla I actually deal with - I have this thing called the Cop Stopper that deals with Tesla's technology. It's like a Pokémon ball and you push the button.

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