I was just fighting dwarves then hit my knee really hard.

You know what? I don't care. I'm going to do what I want to do.

As long as you make your own decision and do thing because it feels good to you, there will always be people who agree and people who don’t.

A lot of artists are such narcissists.

I think what I've come to now is, that fear is good; it's what life is about. You need to be afraid because fear gives you the strength to carry on important tasks.

It's very rare that you get to play a character over the course of so many films. Bella meant a lot to me and she will always be such a formative event in my career. I grew up with her and she and I have been on this great journey together. I also see many parallels between her evolution and my own because I lived through so many things along the way while playing Bella and having this connection to so many people involved in making the films over the years. It would be impossible for me to separate my world from Bella's.

There's no way to be prepared for a conversation with someone you don't know about something that means the world to you.
