I'm about to play an emaciated pregnant vampire, so I've stopped using as much butter as Paula Deen - just until 'Breaking Dawn' is over.

There are always a lot of leading questions and opinions. Of course, our work is creative, and it's subjective.

I put a lot of weight in what I do, and you and I can talk to each other in a certain way because that's how people interact, but I don't really know how to talk to the entire world.

It's not like I sit around watching my movies again and again, but I've never quite believed actors when they say they don't watch themselves.

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

My brother's a grip. My mom's a scriptwriter. My dad's a director. So it's like, at heart, I'm a below-the-line girl.

I'm approaching the idea of taking on a responsibility as great as saying, "I'm good enough to be in your movie." It's a huge statement to make, and every time I do it, I think, "Is this the right choice?"
